A few facts i discovered while doing this list:

Youngest driver is Guido di Rado (Windsor) at age 22, oldest one is Armin Zöggeler (CHIPPer) at age 33.

Mercedes has both the driver with the most rating (Grandi, 5,298) and the driver with the lowest rating (Rajgopaul, 1,569) in their team.

Ferrari driver Vifgas Macanga did not win a single race in the last season.

Grandi of Mercedes has the best winning percentage in Season 8 of all F1 drivers, his 77.6% beats Saint-Germain Jr’s percentage by just 0.2%. (As of day 73/77)

In the last 7 years OMR pilot Alex Botta won every season series he ever attended.

Valentino Mazzola (#13), Sebastiano Strega (#14), Sergio Muzzio (#15) and Riks Piks (#18) are the only current top 20 pilots that are not driving in Formula 1 next season.
