Style 2 (based on the Championship race table)

1937	Daimler-Benz AG	Mercedes-Benz M125		Tripoli	Avusrennen	Eifelrennen	Vanderbilt Cup	Coppa Acerbo	Masaryk	Donington

			Rudolf Caracciola	6	DNF	2	DNF	5†	1	3
			Richard Seaman	7	5	DNF	2	DNS/5†	4	DNF
			Manfred von Brauchitsch	DNF		3		2	2	2

†Seaman's car was destroyed in practice and did not start. During the race, Seaman took over Carraciola's car and finished fifth.

I personally feel the second style conveys most of the data in a much smaller space. Your thoughts? AlexJ 11:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
