At the start of the 2007 season final at Brazil, Kimi Raikkonen was third in the Drivers' Championship table behind Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
He went on to win the Championship by one point. It was only the second time (Giuseppe Farina in 1950) that this has occurred.
Has there been an instance where a driver ranked outside the top three at the start of the final race, then won that Drivers' Championship?
