Is that the one that 3rd leg winners don't win the race?

And six years after the original post, the 5th position curse still holds!  Not only that, the teams that show up 5th in the intro sequence tend as a group not to do very well:


      
Intro             Final Place                                       
Order                                                
        1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12      Average Place

 7      2   1   2   3   2   0   2   5   3   3   9          7.56   
 8      3   3   0   1   0   4   5   0   6   5   5          7.22   
 9      3   1   3   3   4   3   5   3   2   2   2   1      6.09   
10      1   0   3   3   4   5   4   5   1   4   1   1      6.63   
11      3   4   5   4   3   1   3   3   4   0   1          5.00   
12                  1   1           2                      6.25   


If you had a choice, you might want to be introduced 4th.  Not only are there as many or more winners there, but 4th position has way more than its share of top 3 finishers.
