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 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).

- ^ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzaaThe Indianapolis 500 was a round of the World Drivers' Championship 11 times (from 1950 to 1960). 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.
- ^ abcdFangio 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.
- ^ abcdAscari 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 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.
- ^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.
- ^ abFarina'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.
- ^ abThis 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.
- ^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.

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
21 Esteban Gutierrez (Mex) Sauber-Ferrari
25 Jean-Eric Vergne (Fra) Toro Rosso-Renault
26 Daniil Kvyat (Rus) Toro Rosso-Renault
19 Felipe Massa (Bra) Williams-Mercedes
77 Valtteri Bottas (Fin) Williams-Mercedes
17 Jules Bianchi (Fra) Marussia-Ferrari
TBA Max Chilton (GB) Marussia-Ferrari
TBC Caterham-Renault
TBC Caterham-Renault
*Vettel has chosen to carry number one, as is his right as world champion, but has chosen 5 for the duration of his career
