).
Other excellent Formula One web sites are available.

==========
For the purposes of this analysis, I only count what I call "genuine"
passing manoeuvres, which means that I exclude:
 a) any place changes made during pit stops
 b) lapping/unlapping manoeuvres
 c) anything during the first lap
Hopefully a) & b) are obvious, c) is because although lap one is often 
the
best opportunity to make up places it is also not typical of the rest of
the race, and so for the purpose of comparing races with other races and 
seasons with other seasons, it is simpler to exclude lap one completely.
Note: Passes are not counted in these stats UNLESS the gained position is
held until the start/finish line is next crossed and so gets recorded on
the lap chart. I try to ignore anything that isn't recorded in the lap
chart, even if it was seen on TV - in this way I try to keep the numbers
as consistent as possible.
First of all here is a summary of the stats for the last five years:

McNish failed to complete lap one.

Infatti e' giusto : il GP Europa oggi e' al Nring, e quindi e' riportato
che nel 97 e 98 quel circuito ospitava il GP Lussemburgo :-))))
