2010
Turns around slow start in ultra-quick RB6 with victories in Spain, Monaco, Britain and Hungary to move ahead of team mate Vettel and lead standings going into summer break. Loses out in four-way title showdown at season finale thanks to poor pit strategy, finishing third overall.
2009
Pre-season preparation hampered by broken leg sustained in winter cycling accident, but form continually improves, culminating in maiden pole and victory in Germany. Retirements in Italy and Singapore end his title hopes, but he takes a triumphant second win in Brazil.
2008
