- What is the average age of all drivers in the field?
- Calculate the number podiums each team accumulated in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Which team accumulated the most total podiums, and how many did they accumulate?
- Which team had the biggest point differential between their best and worst drivers in 2021?
- Which country produced the most drivers, and how many drivers are from that country? (According to their Place of Birth)
Hint: Did you know you can create new columns based on a summarize function within one Cross Tab tool?
