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 Hungarian 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 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]

Chief F1 writer

Formula 1 drivers have been allocated the race numbers they will use for the rest of their careers.

Governing body the FIA has published the 2014 entry list, revealing the numbers chosen by the drivers.

Under a new rule, drivers picked their preferred choices. If there was a clash, priority went to the driver placed higher in the 2013 championship.

As world champion, Sebastian Vettel has exercised his right to use one in 2014 and has picked five for his career.

Formula 1 by the numbers

  • Under regulations for the 2014 season, drivers were invited by Formula 1's governing body the FIA to choose their race numbers. The driver who finished higher in the 2013 standings were favoured if the same number was requested more than once

Ferrari's double world champion Fernando Alonso is 14, his team-mate the 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen seven, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton 44 and McLaren's Jenson Button 22.

Alonso, who was runner-up to Vettel in 2013, has chosen 14 because he used it during his teenage years in karting and he considers it lucky.

The famously unemotional Raikkonen said he picked seven because 'it's the number I already had last year and I saw no reason to change it'.

Button asked for 22 because it was the number on his Brawn car when he won his sole world title in 2009.

The rule was introduced so drivers could market their image with one number, as happens in grand prix motorcycle racing and the US-based Nascar stock car series.

Previously, numbers were allocated to teams on the basis of their positions in the preceding year's constructors' championship, with the teams deciding which driver carried which of their two numbers.

After the entry list was published, Marussia officially announced that Englishman Max Chilton will retain his seat for a second season. He is named on the entry list, but without an allocated number.

Caterham have not yet chosen their drivers and their slots are to be confirmed.

The full 2014 F1 entry list is as follows, with the drivers' race number listed first:

1* Sebastian Vettel (Ger) Red Bull-Renault

3 Daniel Ricciardo (Aus) Red Bull-Renault

44 Lewis Hamilton (GB) Mercedes

6 Nico Rosberg (Ger) Mercedes

14 Fernando Alonso (Spa) Ferrari

7 Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Ferrari

8 Romain Grosjean (Fra) Lotus-Renault

13 Pastor Maldonado (Ven) Lotus-Renault

22 Jenson Button (GB) McLaren-Mercedes

20 Kevin Magnussen (Den) McLaren-Mercedes

27 Nico Hulkenberg (Ger) Force India-Mercedes

11 Sergio Perez (Mex) Force India-Mercedes

99 Adrian Sutil (Ger) Sauber-Ferrari
