Hirakawa joins rare club of one-off F1 point scorers
Original: RaceFans (@racefansdotnet): NEW: Stats: Hirakawa is sixth one-off starter to score a world championship point More: http
Ryo Hirakawa has become only the sixth driver in Formula 1 history to score a world championship point in a one-off race start, achieved at the Mexican Grand Prix. The feat is a statistical rarity, given how rarely part-time or substitute drivers break into the top ten against full-season competition. Motorsport fans are also noting the broader statistics from Mexico, including what the race meant for Lando Norris's title campaign.
Why now: A substitute driver scoring points in a single start is a rare statistical feat that catches fans' attention after the Mexican Grand Prix.
