Statistics can only ever tell you so much about a Formula 1 season, but there are plenty of telling ones to give a flavour of the year just gone…
Fifteen for 2015
ONE
Lewis Hamilton became the first British driver to successfully defend the World Championship.
TWO
The number of times Romain Grosjean was outqualified by Lotus team-mate Pastor Maldonado - the most one-sided Saturday duel on the grid.
THREE
Races won by Sebastian Vettel in his debut season at Ferrari, the same number as his idol Michael Schumacher in his first year at Maranello in 1996. The two Germans also finished third in the Drivers' Championship in their first seasons with the Scuderia.
FOUR
The penalty-free engine limit that all eight Mercedes-powered cars remained within during the season. By contrast, McLaren's two Honda-powered cars used up 23 different engines between them.
FIVE
The number of points Jenson Button finished ahead of Fernando Alonso in the drivers' standings. It is the first time Alonso has ever been out-scored by a team-mate over the course of a year.
SIX
Points finishes for McLaren - their joint-lowest tally since 1971, when there were only 11 races in the season.
SEVEN
Tenths of a second, the closest finish of the season between first and second place (Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in China).
EIGHT
Penalty points accrued by Max Verstappen in his debut F1 season, two more than any other driver in the 2015 field.
NINE
The number of podiums shared by Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel.
TEN
Lewis Hamilton became the first driver to win 10 or more races in successive seasons (11 in 2014 and 10 in 2015).
ELEVEN
The number of stewards investigations during the mad-cap Hungarian GP in July.
TWELVE
Mercedes one-two finishes, breaking their own season record of 11 set in 2014.
THIRTEEN
The car number which continues to prove unlucky for Pastor Maldonado - the #13 Lotus failed to finish more races than any other driver with nine DNFs.
FOURTEEN
The scant percentage of points dominant Mercedes didn't score which were available to them in 2015. Out of a maximum score of 817, the world champions racked up 703 points - 86 per cent of the total on offer.
FIFTEEN
The number of front-row lockouts sealed by Mercedes out of a total of 19, another new all-time F1 record - and yet another statistic to underline the challenge ahead for would-be rivals to dethrone them in 2016.
