List of Formula One driver records

This is a list of driver records in the FIA World Championships, since 1950. Drivers who have competed in the 2016 Formula One season are highlighted in bold.

This page is accurate as of the end of the 2016 Singapore Grand Prix.

Races entered and started[edit]

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 pitlane exit for the start of a 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., most races stopped before the end of the leader's 2nd lap had the first part declared null and void in the 1990s and early 2000s, but the first part did count if it was run for more than 1 complete lap before the race was stopped).

Not all De Cesaris's retirements were classified as 'DNF': he was classified as 3rd at the 1987 Belgian Grand Prix after running out of fuel and pushing his car over the line. For this reason, some sources list his 13 retirements and 1 DNQ in 1986 as the record for consecutive non-finishes in a season and 18 non-finishes starting the previous season.^[68]^[73]

^ Giuseppe Farina had been competing in pre-World Championship Grands Prix since the 1930s.

^ 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.
^ It was announced that the fastest lap of 1976 Japanese Grand Prix was set by Masahiro Hasemi on lap 25, but this was a measurement mistake, and, several days later, the circuit issued a press release to correct the fastest lap holder of the race to Jacques Laffite with a time of 1:19.97 on lap 70. This release was promptly known in Japan, and the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) and Japanese media correct the record. But, this correction was not known well outside Japan, thus, Hasemi has been treated as the fastest lap record holder of the race in many record books including the Formula One official website

^ Loof started one World Championship race at the 1953 German Grand Prix but only made it two meters off the starting grid. Marco Apicella is frequently referred to as having the shortest Formula One career, but that is false.
