Notes [edit]

^ ^a ^b Sauber held a Swiss licence from 1993 to 2005, a German licence (as "BMW Sauber") from 2006 to 2009 and a Swiss licence from 2010 onwards
^ ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e ^f Renault held a French licence from 1977 to 2010, and a British one in 2011

^ Since 1982, all race timings have been done to the nearest 0.001 seconds, but previously many races, including the 1971 Italian Grand Prix, were not. As a result it is impossible to know whether the finish was closer than that of the 2002 United States Grand Prix
