Good luck making that graphic.
It's the 70's that has me wondering about the possible regulation. Accidents were at one of the highest rates back then and sadly some of them were very grisly indeed. Being able to identify a driver by the helmet may have been crucial.
Aside from Fernando Alonso at Hungary in 2007, has a driver ever been punished by stewards for an in-house collision?

Marussias at Canada this year?
What collision?
I thought that was Silverstone..
Senna/Prost 1989?
Good point.

That's Canada, not Hungary.

Indy 500 is always scheduled for a Sunday, but they will move that one back to Monday if it rains too much.
It was always on 30th May at one point, until Labor Day regulations changed.
Sorry, should have been more specific. How do they attach them to a wheel which rotates at high speed which if it then breaks off is retained by the tether? I can't imagine it's fixed to the wheel itself (in fact I think that's virtually impossible) so what is the fixed point the tether attaches to?
They go back to the suspension mounts on the upright. This is why if a wheel is not correctly fitted in the pits, or the upright is actually smashed in an impact, you still see the wheel get away. They've been upgraded by regulation over the years and there are now two on each wheel... This year each one has to have a minimum break strength of 70kn which is more than 7 metric ton's!

The Indy 500 was never an F1 race anyway, even when it counted for the WDC. The cars taking part came under USAC (and before that AAA) specifications.
