This is a list of driver records in the FIA World Championships, since 1950. Drivers who are competing in the 2009 Formula One season are highlighted in bold.

This page is accurate up to and including the 2009 Bahrain Grand Prix (April 26th, 2009).

Races entered and started

A driver is 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 for the start of a race – if a race is stopped and re-started, only the final start of the race is counted.

Drivers competing in the Indianapolis 500 during these years were credited with participation in a World Championship race and the top five placegetters were credited with World Championship points.
  2. ^ a b Fangio entered 52 separate races, but shared with additional drivers in some of these.
  3. ^ a b Ascari entered 33 separate races, but shared with additional drivers in some of these.
  4. ^ Some sources extend Ascari's sequence to 9 wins, by including the subsequent 1953 Dutch and Belgian Grands Prix, and discounting the intervening 1953 Indianapolis 500, on the basis that although the Indianapolis 500 was part of the Drivers' Championship from 1950 to 1960, very few of the European drivers and teams ever competed there.
