Analysis

Records

Every all-time mark since 1950, computed from the race results rather than copied out of a curated list. Each entry links to the driver and, where there is one, to the race. Equal values share a rank: “=1” means joint first.

Most points scored in races

Comparable only up to a point: the race points scale has changed seven times since 1950, and until 1990 some of the points lapsed as dropped scores.

Streaks

Unbroken runs across a driver's starts. A race missed does not break a streak – a driver who was not there had nothing to lose.

The Grand Slam is the one figure on this page that is not recalculated here: “led every lap” appears in no result row, and lap data exists only for part of the races since 1996. It is taken from F1DB as it stands.

Age

Exact to the day: full years, then the days since the last birthday. Drivers whose date of birth is not recorded are missing from these lists – a missing date is not an age of zero.

Charges through the field, and long careers

Formula 1 races only. The Indianapolis 500 started 33 cars, where thirty places made up was routine – it would otherwise fill eight of the ten places for positions gained.
