  1. Indonesia became the latest country to be represented by a driver when Rio Haryanto made his Formula One debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix driving for Manor Racing. The most recent drivers to make their Formula One debut are Alexander Albon, Lando Norris and George Russell, who debuted at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix.
  2. Jacky Ickx is more famous for his sportscar exploits, including six Le Mans 24 Hours victories and two world titles, than he is for his F1 career. That tends to overshadow the fact that, at his peak, he was one of the top single-seater drivers in the world.
  3. This is a list of driver records in the FIA World Championships, since 1950. Drivers who have competed in the 2019 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.
  4. The driver who is set to be voted the best driver of the 2018 Formula 1 season, Williams Racing's Sergey Sirotkin, will not have a ride in the 2019 season.
  5. Lewis Hamilton is currently the best driver in Formula One and has seemingly gotten even better in his many years being part of the sport. Hamilton is definitely the best British driver of all time and holds the record for All-Time most career points (2,755), the most wins at different circuits (26) and all-time most pole positions (75).
  6. Some big changes for 2019, not least Ferrari protege Charles Leclerc stepping up from Sauber to partner Sebastian Vettel – with former champion Kimi Raikkonen heading in the opposite direction. Daniel Ricciardo begins a new life at Renault, with Pierre Gasly taking over his Red Bull seat.

This is a list of driver records in the FIA World Championships, since 1950. Drivers who have competed in the 2019 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 2019 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 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., most races stopped before the end of the leader's second 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 one 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.[101][107]

  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.

  6. ^Giuseppe Farina began racing in Grands Prix in the 1930s – before the first World Championship.

  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. ^ abFarina's total of 20 podiums includes both 2nd and 3rd places at the 1955 Argentine Grand Prix.
  10. ^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.
  11. ^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.
  12. ^ abThis 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. ^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.
  16. ^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.
  17. ^Loof started one World Championship race at the 1953 German Grand Prix but only made it two meters off the starting grid.

Formula One
  • Drivers
    • Numbers)

Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeledauto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.[1] The 'formula' in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. Each year, the F1 World Championship is held. It consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. Drivers are awarded points based on their finishing position in each race, and the driver who accumulates the most points over each championship is crowned that year's World Drivers' Champion. As of the 2019 Singapore Grand Prix, there have been 774 Formula One drivers from 39 different nationalities who have raced at least one of the 1,012 FIA World Championship races since the first such event, the 1950 British Grand Prix.[2]

Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most championships, while his 91 wins[3] and 155 podium finishes are also records.[4]Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most pole positions with 87. Rubens Barrichello has entered more Grands Prix than anyone else – 326 times in total – as well as having made an unsurpassed 322 race starts.[5] The United Kingdom is the most represented country, having produced 163 drivers. Nine countries have been represented by just one. Indonesia became the latest country to be represented by a driver when Rio Haryanto made his Formula One debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix driving for Manor Racing. The most recent drivers to make their Formula One debut are Alexander Albon, Lando Norris and George Russell, who debuted at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix.

This list includes all drivers who have entered a World Championship race, including participants of the Indianapolis 500 between 1950 and 1960 when it was part of the World Championship (although not being run according to Formula One rules).[6]

  • Michael Schumacher won seven world titles, five of them with Ferrari

  • Juan Manuel Fangio won five titles in the 1950s, and won 24 of the 51 races he started

  • Lewis Hamilton has won five world titles, one with McLaren and four with Mercedes

  • Alain Prost won four world titles between 1985 and 1993

  • Sebastian Vettel won four world titles in 2010–2013, all with Red Bull

By country[edit]

Drivers from 40 countries have entered a World Championship race. The United Kingdom is the most heavily represented with 163 drivers. Second is the United States with 158; between 1950 and 1960 the American Indianapolis 500 race, rarely contested by drivers from outside the United States, was part of the World Drivers' Championship. A total of 36 American drivers have started World Championship races sanctioned by the FIA. Third is Italy with 99. Nine of these countries were represented in the very first race, the 1950 British Grand Prix, and the most recent newly represented country is Indonesia, with Rio Haryanto making his debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix. Statistics are accurate as of the 2019 Singapore Grand Prix.

Notes[edit]

  • ^^ The number of points awarded for each finishing position has varied over the years. Also, up until 1990, not all points scored by a driver contributed to their final World Championship tally. Numbers without parentheses are points that counted towards championships; numbers in parentheses are total points scored. See list of points scoring systems for more information.
  • ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Competed only in Indianapolis 500 events, which were included as rounds of the World Championship from 1950 to 1960.
  • ^ Ascari shared podium positions with Dorino Serafini (2nd, 1950 Italian Grand Prix) and José Froilán González (2nd, 1951 French Grand Prix).[9][10]
  • ^^^^^^^Alberto Ascari, Jean Behra, Juan Manuel Fangio, José Froilán González, Mike Hawthorn, Onofre Marimón and Stirling Moss were all credited with the same fastest lap time in the 1954 British Grand Prix, which was worth 1 championship point at the time. Each was credited with 0.14 points, although this is not shown in Fangio's total as it did not contribute to his World Championship tally.
  • ^ Ayulo shared a podium with Jack McGrath (3rd, 1951 Indianapolis 500).[11]
  • ^ East German until 1957, then West German. Only the flag of West Germany is used here, because until 1959, the flag of East Germany looked exactly the same.

  • ^ Behra shared a podium with Cesare Perdisa (3rd, 1955 Monaco Grand Prix).[12]
  • ^ Bettenhausen shared a podium with Paul Russo (2nd, 1955 Indianapolis 500).[13]

  • ^^ It was initially announced that Masahiro Hasemi set the fastest lap at the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix, but it 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.[23] This press release was promptly made known in Japan, and the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) and Japanese media corrected the record.[24][25] But this correction was not made well known outside Japan, thus, Hasemi is credited with the fastest lap of the race in many record books.
