How did Herbert 'nearly [score] back-to-back wins'? Even if Ferrari's exclusion had been upheld he'd have been behind Hakkinen by eight seconds. Why not throw in that Marc Gene "nearly" scored back-to-back 6th places, which he would have done if the Ferraris had been disqualified and that had somehow caused Mika Hakkinen to also blink out of existence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.79.97.64 ( talk) 20:03, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
- I think what the text means is that during the period of time when the Ferraris were disqualified, Herbert was second and "had nearly scored back-to-back wins". But I agree it's a bit unclear.

- But he didn't, he was - during the period of time - 2nd. He didn't come close because to get to 2nd required two expulsions and there was never any question of Hakkinen being penalised; he didn't even finish particularly close to the McLaren. Again, he no more nearly had successive wins than Gene nearly had successive 6th places. — Preceding

- Some people would consider winning one race and then finishing second in the next race (which was the situation while the Ferraris were disqualified) "nearly scoring back-to-back wins", regardless of how far he finished behind the winner of the second race.
