This is only the fourth time that the WDC doesn't win the Voting Championship. The previous times were 2003, 2005 and 2006.
2006 was particularly memorable as Michael Schumacher beat Fernando Alonso through countback of second place finishes.
Third place for Verstappen is a very notable rookie performance, in a midfield car.
