Ah, I see that besides Steffen’s suggested correction, you also fixed the Malaysian chart like I suggested.
BTW I really like the lap charts that also show the time differences between the drivers. I liked the ones you did based on the average lap time of the race winner, slightly better.
Maybe someone could create a web applet that can create these things automatically and that you can choose which presentation you’d like and that you can click on a driver to highlight his line.

I was thinking of doing something along those lines Patrick
Keith – were do you get your raw data from? The only official times I can find are the PDF files on the FIA website. Did you sit there and type all these in ?!?
