    As an old fart, I feel compelled to mention Spa 1998, where I believe 5 or less cars made it beyond the 3rd turn unscathed. It just so happened that back then, teams had 1 backup car, so most of those who crashed were able to make the restart. (That said, there were several teams where both cars were crashed , so only 1 driver made it to the restart.)

After that, think how many of those drivers actually make it into a third year in F1. I haven't done the math, but I expect that less than 10% of the field is actually good enough for long term F1.
