Nice, thanks.

397out of 475 available points by Vettel is a very strong score.

 

Only 78 dropped points by the WDC. Whats the record for the best season in that respect?

 

I'd argue that Jim Clark has that record with 100% in both 1963 and 1965, once you take into account the dropped scores. 6 wins (54 points) with the best 6 results counting.

 

Edit: Only because you worded it as "available" points, meaning back then only the best x results were actually available to a driver.

McLaren is the first F1 team in the history to have both cars classified at every race of the season.

Yes they are, also completing 99.1% of of total milage available which is a record.

I think Ferrari also broke the record of most consecutive points finishes with at least 1 car (previously set by McLaren up until Canada).

1 more record from 2013 is that Renault powered cars have the most pole positions (taking that record from Ferrari)

One very unusual fact I read on F1F after Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and it's still valid. 

 

'Nico Rosberg lies 6th in the championship with four podiums; a win at the Monaco Grand Prix from pole, a win at the British Grand Prix, and a 2nd place immediately followed by a 3rd place, in rounds 16 and 17 of the season- all like Mark Webber last season.'

Ferrari- Abu Dhabi 2013- Record for most consecutive points scores by a team. 65 point hauls in a row.
