Records |
This is a list of driver records in the FIA World Championships, since 1950. Drivers who have competed in the 2018 Formula One World Championship are highlighted in bold. Although the Indianapolis 500 was not run to Formula 1 rules and the 1952 and 1953 Grands Prix were run to Formula 2 rules, these races are included as they were qualifying races for the World Drivers' Championship. Formula 1 races that were not qualification rounds for the World Championship have been ignored.
This page is accurate as of the 2018 Japanese Grand Prix.
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 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).

Drivers competing in the Indianapolis 500 during these years were credited with participation in a World Championship race and the top five finishers were credited with World Championship points.
- 1 2 3 4 Fangio entered 52 separate races, but shared 6 cars with other drivers in 5 Grands Prix which would reduce his percentage win ratio to 41.38.
- 1 2 3 4 Ascari entered 33 separate races, but shared 3 cars with other drivers in 3 Grands Prix which would reduce his percentage win ratio to 37.14.
- ↑ Some sources extend Ascari's sequence to 9 wins, including the subsequent 1953 Netherlands and Belgium 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.
- ↑ Juan Manuel Fangio began racing in Grands Prix in 1948 – before the first World Championship.
- ↑ Giuseppe Farina began racing in Grands Prix in the 1930s – before the first World Championship.
- ↑ Shared drive with Stirling Moss
- ↑ 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.
- 1 2 Farina's total of 20 podiums includes both 2nd and 3rd places at the 1955 Argentine Grand Prix.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Ascari finished 20 races in the points and earned points for fastest lap in 3 additional races that he did not finish. He earned points in 23 different races.
- ↑ This includes partial seasons.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ This includes partial seasons.
- ↑ Andretti did not compete in Formula One in 1973, so he won the championship in the tenth season he contested.
- ↑ Rindt was killed in an accident while qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix on 5 September 1970, aged 28 years, 140 days. This is the age Rindt would have been on 4 October 1970 when he (posthumously) clinched the title.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Kimi Räikkönen finished the final 8 races of 2009, but then took a two-year sabbatical. If those eight races were added on, he would have finished 38 consecutive races.
