The Turkish Grand Prix witnessed Felipe Massa's first ever Formula One victory in his 67th race. More interestingly however, Massa's triumph came off the back of Jenson Button's own maiden win at the previous race in Hungary. Given the Alonso, Schumacher stranglehold on the championship, this double maiden triumph would surely have garnered long odds at any bookmakers if such an eventuality were considered back in July.
The last time two consecutive F1 races witnessed maiden winners was early in the 2003 season, when Kimi Raikkonen won his first Grand Prix in Malaysia, and Giancarlo Fisichella (eventually) claimed glory in the rain hit Brazilian grand prix a fortnight later. Interestingly since then, and prior to Button's victory, only Alonso and Jarno Trulli had added to the list of Formula One winners.
Even more incredibly than any of this however, is that you would have to go back to the 1980s to find the previous double maiden triumph before Malaysia, Brazil 2003.
How many years then before Button, Massa 2006 in repeated? Place your bets
