Last weekend I watched the Indy race from Surfers Paradise. They showed different kinds of statistics, but one was interesting. It was the "Nations Cup" ( how different coutries did in the race). I thought it would be interesting to keep such a statistic in F1 too. Here is the F1 "Nations Cup" for '94:
