List of Formula One driver records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by GhostOfDanGurney (talk | contribs) at 16:15, 29 November 2022 (→‎Most consecutive race starts: + hat). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The World Championship of Drivers has been held since 1950. Driver records listed here include all rounds which formed part of the World Championship since 1950: this includes the Indianapolis 500 in 1950–1960 (though it was not run to Formula 1 rules), and the 1952 and 1953 World Championship Grands Prix (which were run to Formula 2 rules). Formula 1 races that were not qualification rounds for the World Championship are not included.

This page is accurate as of the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Drivers who have competed in the 2022 Formula One World Championship are highlighted in bold.

Races entered and started

Drivers are considered to be entered into a race if they attempt to compete in at least one official practice session with the intent of entering the race. These drivers are noted on the entry list for that race. A driver is considered to have started a race if they line up on the grid or at the pit lane exit for the start of the race. If a race is stopped and restarted, participation in any portion of the race is counted, but only if that portion was in any way counted towards the final classification (e.g., races stopped before the end of the leader's second lap are declared null and void).

  2. ^ a b c Fangio entered 52 separate races, but shared 6 cars with other drivers in 5 Grands Prix which would reduce his percentages accordingly.
  3. ^ a b c Ascari entered 33 separate races, but shared 3 cars with other drivers in 3 Grands Prix which would reduce his percentages accordingly.
  4. ^ Some sources extend Ascari's sequence to 9 wins, including the subsequent 1953 Dutch and Belgian Grands Prix and discounting the intervening 1953 Indianapolis 500, on the basis that very few of the European drivers competed in the Indianapolis 500 when it was part of the Drivers' Championship.
  5. ^ Juan Manuel Fangio began racing in Grands Prix in 1948 – before the first World Championship.
  6. ^ Giuseppe Farina began racing in Grands Prix in the 1930s – before the first World Championship.
  7. ^ Shared drive with Stirling Moss
  8. ^ A year after the victory Renault were charged with race fixing which led to the team's suspended disqualification. However, the original results were left in place.
  9. ^ Farina's total of 20 podiums includes both 2nd and 3rd places at the 1955 Argentine Grand Prix.
  10. ^ This includes sprint qualifying points.
  11. ^ González finished 18 races in the points and earned points for fastest lap in 1 additional race that he did not finish. He earned points in 19 different races.
  12. ^ a b This includes partial seasons.
  13. ^ Alonso did not compete in Formula One in 2002 as he spent the season as Renault's test driver, so he won the championship in the fourth season he contested.
  14. ^ Andretti did not compete in Formula One in 1973, so he won the championship in the tenth season he contested.
  15. ^ Denny Hulme won the 1967 championship without ever having scored a pole, although 6 years later, in 1973, Hulme did finally rack up the solitary pole of his 112-race career.
  16. ^ Loof started one World Championship race at the 1953 German Grand Prix but only made it two metres off the starting grid. The 1952 and 1953 World Championships were run to Formula Two regulations, however 'World Championship' and 'Formula One' are commonly referred to synonymously and are treated as such for these records. Marco Apicella, who raced a mere 800 metres (2,600 ft) at the 1993 Italian Grand Prix, is frequently referred to as having the shortest Formula One career, but that is a technicality.
  17. ^ Vettel was entered as a Friday practice only driver.[1]
