Thank you so much!

ps: sure about Ayrton, as Beelsebob pointed out 6 instead of 8. Dunno who's right.

It depends on how you want to count. I assume Beelsebob counted consecutive pole positions per season - I didn't. Senna was on pole 6 consecutive times in 1988, but he was also on pole for the last 3 races in 1988 and the first 5 races in 1989, therefore bringing his total to 8.

Most consecutive is different because I assumed that you wanted most consecutive within a season.

I changed the topic title to a more clear one (thanks tim|away).

[johnsonwax]

Lewis Hamilton
most consecutive pole positions: 4 (2013)
most pole positions per season: 7 of 18 -> 38.9% (2008)

Dude is 4th on the career pole list and if this season continues playing out as it has been, he'll move up to 3rd before its over.

[SiLo]

He could be on pole for quite some time, especially as we come to track he likes.

Cant believe that Gilles Villeneuve only had one pole! I don't really know too much about him, only that many regarded him as a great driver.

Yeah, that's the reason I started a thread on him.
