Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto 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.[2] Each year, the F1 World Championship season 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.[3] 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.[4] As of the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, there have been 781 Formula One drivers from 41 different nationalities who have started at least one of the 1,149 FIA World Championship races since the first such event,[5][6][7] the 1950 British Grand Prix.[8]
Seven-time champions Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton hold the record for the most championships.[9][10] Hamilton also holds the record for the most wins with 105,[11] the most pole positions with 104,[12] the most points with 5018.5,[13] and the most podiums with 202.[14] Fernando Alonso has entered more Grands Prix than anyone else (428) and also holds the record for the most Grand Prix starts (425).[15] The United Kingdom is the most represented country, having produced 163 drivers.[16] Nine countries have been represented by just one.[5] China became the latest country to be represented by a driver when Zhou Guanyu made his Formula One debut at the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix driving for Alfa Romeo.[17] The most recent drivers to make their Formula One debuts are Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoleto and Isack Hadjar, who debuted at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix.[18]
This list includes all drivers who have entered a World Championship race, including 104 participants of the Indianapolis 500 between 1950 and 1960 when it formed a round of the World Championship (although not being run according to Formula One rules or sanctioned by the FIA).[19]

By country
[edit]Drivers from 41 countries have entered a World Championship race. The United Kingdom is the most heavily represented with 163 drivers.[al] Second is the United States with 160; between 1950 and 1960 the American Indianapolis 500 race, then rarely contested by drivers from outside the United States, was part of the World Championship (but it was not sanctioned by the FIA and was instead sanctioned by either AAA in 1950–1955 or USAC in 1956–1960). A total of 58 American drivers have started World Championship races sanctioned by the FIA. Third is Italy with 100. Nine of these countries were represented in the very first race, the 1950 British Grand Prix, and the most recent newly represented country is China, with Zhou Guanyu making his debut at the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix. Statistics are accurate as of the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Notes
[edit]- ^ a b 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.[20]

List of Formula One drivers
View on GrokipediaDefinitions and Scope
Inclusion Criteria
The inclusion criteria for listing individuals as Formula One drivers emphasize verified competitive participation in events governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), ensuring the article captures all who have contributed to the sport's history under its regulations. The primary requirement is entry into at least one official Formula One World Championship Grand Prix weekend, encompassing practice sessions, qualifying, or race starts, dating from the championship's inception in 1950. This standard aligns with the FIA's definition of entry into a championship event, where drivers must be officially nominated by a constructor and attempt to compete in scheduled activities.[6] These pre-championship events, sanctioned under the 1946 Formula One regulations established by the FIA's predecessor organization, the Association Internationale des Automobile Clubs Reconnus (AIACR), featured cars and competitions that laid the groundwork for the modern series. The FIA's ongoing role in sanctioning all Formula One events maintains consistency in verifying participation through official records, evolving from the initial 1950 framework to incorporate digital archiving for precision.[7][8] Exclusions apply to individuals who did not meet these participation thresholds, such as test drivers, reserves, or demonstration participants without an official session or start. For instance, José Froilán González qualifies due to his entry and start in the inaugural World Championship race, the 1950 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Conversely, for example, test or reserve drivers who participated only in private testing or non-official sessions without an entry for a Grand Prix weekend are omitted to preserve the focus on competitive outings. This approach, refined over decades by the FIA, balances historical inclusivity with the integrity of championship-level involvement, briefly distinguishing it from broader non-championship contexts.World Championship vs. Non-Championship Participation
The Formula One World Championship consists of FIA-sanctioned Grand Prix events that have formed the core of the sport since its inception, awarding points toward the annual Drivers' and Constructors' championships.[9] These races began with the inaugural season in 1950 and continue to the present day, with the 2025 calendar featuring 24 events held across multiple continents.[10] The championship races adhere strictly to evolving FIA technical and sporting regulations, emphasizing safety, competition, and global standardization.[8] In contrast, non-championship Formula One races operated under similar technical formulas but did not contribute to world championship standings, serving as invitational or preparatory events. These included pre-1950 Grand Prix races conducted under the initial Formula One regulations introduced in 1946 by the sport's governing body, such as events from 1946 to 1949 that tested the new 1.5-liter supercharged or 4.5-liter naturally aspirated engine limits.[11] Post-1950, non-championship races persisted as occasional fixtures, exemplified by the Race of Champions, an invitational event for prior season winners held at Brands Hatch from 1965 to 1979 and revived in 1983. A pivotal historical milestone was the transition from fragmented pre-war Grand Prix racing to the structured World Championship, marked by the 1950 British Grand Prix at Silverstone as the first official round, which drew over 100,000 spectators and established the championship's format of seven races that year.[12] Non-championship events gradually declined after the 1970s due to escalating costs, intensified focus on championship testing and scheduling conflicts, and improved safety standards that prioritized official rounds, culminating in the 1983 Race of Champions as the final such race.[13][14] This distinction significantly affects driver participation statistics, with as of November 2025, over 780 unique drivers having competed in at least one World Championship race since 1950, reflecting the championship's enduring appeal and accessibility for professional careers. In comparison, a much smaller cohort of drivers—primarily from the pre-championship era or occasional invitational participants—raced exclusively in non-championship events, underscoring the championship's role as the primary pathway for recognition in the sport.[15] Illustrative examples highlight these differences: the 1948 Monaco Grand Prix, held under early Formula One rules but as a non-championship event, featured 20 starters including Giuseppe Farina's victory in a Maserati 4CLT, serving as a proving ground without global points implications.[16] Conversely, the 1950 Italian Grand Prix at Monza was a championship-counting race that clinched the first Drivers' title for Farina, with intense intra-team battles among Alfa Romeo drivers amid 28 entrants.[17]Primary Driver Lists
Alphabetical List of All Drivers
This section enumerates all drivers who have entered and started at least one Grand Prix in the Formula One World Championship, arranged alphabetically by surname. The list adheres to inclusion criteria defined earlier, encompassing participants from the inaugural 1950 season through the ongoing 2025 season. Entries use the driver's full name as officially registered with the FIA, with nationality indicated by a flag emoji for visual clarity, followed by the year of debut, year of last appearance, and total number of Grand Prix starts. Hyperlinks lead to dedicated entries on Formula One drivers. As of November 18, 2025, there have been approximately 790 such drivers.[18] The list is grouped by initial letter of the surname for ease of navigation, without further subheadings.A

Safety progressed with reinforced cockpits, but the decade's sub-total added to over 430 cumulative drivers, illustrating F1's professionalization.[38] The 1990s saw about 105 new drivers enter, as the grid stabilized at 26 cars and electronic aids proliferated before bans. Michael Schumacher of Germany debuted in 1991, racing through the decade with 65 starts, while Damon Hill of the United Kingdom entered in 1992, accumulating 65 starts by 1999. Jacques Villeneuve of Canada debuted in 1996, logging 32 starts in the decade. Regulatory shifts, including the 1994 ban on electronic driver aids like traction control and active suspension, aimed to restore skill-based racing after controversies, reducing reliance on technology and influencing driver selection toward purer talents. Trends included more diverse nationalities, with sub-totals reaching around 540 cumulative drivers by 1999.[39][40] In the 2000s, roughly 70 drivers debuted amid V8 engine standardization and cost pressures limiting entries to 20-22 cars. Fernando Alonso of Spain debuted in 2001, racing through 2009 with 84 starts, and Kimi Räikkönen of Finland entered in 2001, with 79 starts by decade's end. Jenson Button of the United Kingdom debuted in 2000, logging 80 starts. The era's focus on naturally aspirated 2.4-liter V8s from 2006 emphasized reliability, while trends showed youth influx (average debut age dropping below 23) and global scouting. Cumulative debuts surpassed 610 by 2009.[41] The 2010s introduced hybrid technology, with about 40 new drivers debuting as the grid held at 20 cars and power units shifted to 1.6-liter V6 turbos in 2014, demanding expertise in energy management. Sebastian Vettel of Germany, though debuting in 2007, defined the era with 109 starts through 2019, while Lewis Hamilton of the United Kingdom (debut 2007) added 104 starts. Max Verstappen of the Netherlands debuted in 2015, with 50 starts by 2019. Hybrid influx trends highlighted efficiency and sustainability, attracting engineering-focused drivers; sub-total reached over 650 cumulative.[42][43] As of November 2025, the 2020s have seen approximately 35 drivers debut in the first half-decade, fueled by expanded 24-race calendars and superlicense criteria favoring junior series graduates. Modern entrants like Oscar Piastri of Australia (debut 2023, 40+ starts ongoing) and six rookies in 2025—including Andrea Kimi Antonelli of Italy and Oliver Bearman of the United Kingdom—reflect heightened competition and diversity, with 41 nationalities represented overall.

This decade's rapid pace projects 80+ debuts by 2029, pushing totals beyond 850.[44][19]Supplementary Categories
World Drivers' Champions
The Formula One World Drivers' Championship, established in 1950, is awarded to the driver with the highest points total at the end of each season, crowning the sport's top performer based on Grand Prix results. Since its inception, 34 unique drivers have secured the title across 75 seasons through 2024, reflecting the intense competition and technological evolution in the sport. German Michael Schumacher and British Lewis Hamilton jointly hold the record with seven championships each, while Dutch driver Max Verstappen claimed his fourth consecutive title in 2024, becoming the first to do so since Schumacher's five in a row from 2000 to 2004.[45][46] The championship's scoring system has undergone significant changes to balance competition and reward consistency. Initially in 1950, points were distributed as 8-6-4-3-2 to the top five finishers, with only the best four results from six or seven races counting, and no points for fastest laps until later modifications. By 1961, it simplified to 8 points for a win with decreasing allocations, evolving to the current 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 scale for the top ten since 2010, where all races contribute fully (except sprint formats adding 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for top eight). These adjustments have influenced title races, such as the drop rules in early eras favoring selective performance over volume.[47][48] Notable records include Schumacher's 91 career Grand Prix wins and Hamilton's leading 105, underscoring their dominance; Verstappen became the youngest champion at age 24 in 2021, though Sebastian Vettel holds the outright youngest record at 23 in 2010. The United Kingdom boasts the most champions with eight, while early eras saw diverse nationalities, including five from Italy and four from Argentina in the 1950s. As of November 18, 2025, the 2025 season remains undecided, with McLaren's Lando Norris leading the standings ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri, potentially introducing the 35th unique champion.[49][50][51] The following table lists all champions chronologically by their first title win, including the number of titles, specific years, and primary teams during those championship seasons (noting multi-team cases where applicable).| Driver | Nationality | Titles | Years Won | Teams (During Title Seasons) |
