Finishing Correlation for British Grand Prix

This graph shows the correlation between grid position and finishing position. When I get a chance I will start doing regressions on this data. My idea is that you can get some idea of the amount passing at a track by looking at the correlation coefficient betwwen grid position and finishing position. A high degree of correlation would indicate that there is little passing at a given track, less correlation would mean that there is more passing.
