My history is spotty pre-2000 so I can't say for sure (please correct me if I am wrong, I'd rather be wrong and learn something than just be wrong).


BUT


Has a single driver ever gone through such a bad spell as Petter after winning a championship and won a championship again? I can't recall a driver doing so poorly and then winning a championship again (but my historical knowledge is only for the most current era).

I think Petter's career as a championship contender is over...
