Alan Perry comments that Schumacher hasn't completed a full 'year' which is
correct.  I've also discovered that Peterson did not score 33 points in his
debut season.  He ran 1970 in a March and scored no points while competing in
9 races.  He did score 33 points the next year.

So, we have:
Farina scoring 30 points in his first 6 races (3 wins)
Stewart scoring 33 points in his first 7 races (1 win)
Reggazoni scoring 33 points in his first 8 races (1 win)
Schumacher scoring 37 points in his first 16 races (0 wins)

So, while he seems to behind Farina, Stewart and Reggazoni in these stats, he's
still way ahead of most F1 drivers, not just in points in his first 'year' but
points scored period.  He is 70th in points out of 180 drivers.
