On Sky's F1 website today is a graphic showing the results of a Poll.
Can you spot the problem?

It seems Luis Hamilton didn't fair so well, coming in 24th place . Otherwise they did make the 1, 2, 3, 6, etc blue bars rather close in length compared to the 48% bar. In other words, not proportional

Indeed, very poor. Fixed offset addition, by the looks (or failure to separate legend from proportional bar) - the general opposite of what seems to be done in a high proportion of political polls these days (big or little P), where the aim is demonstrate that the people with a 31.5% view are overwhelmingly more significant than those holding the 30.5% view; by basing the scale with 30 as the axis...

I suspect this is a case of those who promote F1 trying to make the potential outcome look closer (and therefore more exciting) than it is likely to be in reality.
