Statistics for drivers without a win
From the list of drivers who did not have a victory in Formula 1, we could say that the best is Eugenio Castellotti because he is the only one who finished third in an F1 championship, the one from 1955.
The next one would be Chris Amon, who has the most pole positions, 5 in number and 15 front row starts, he is also in the top in terms of points even if he competed in seasons where the maximum points could a driver obtain in a race was much lower than the one nowadays. The best ranking at the end of the season in Formula 1 is a 5th place in the 1967 season.
Roy Salvadori in 1958, Rudi Fischer in 1952, Louis Rosier in 1950 does not appear in any top, they finished in 4th place in the mentioned seasons but do not appear in any top. Rudi Fischer in the 1952 season only scored points in two races, both of which finished on the podium. These points helped him finish the season tied for points with Mike Hawthorn.
Jean Behra also finished in fourth place in the 1956 F1 season, being also present in the front row start and podium charts.
In the charts presented below, apart from pole position, all are truncated by a certain number. If we were to make a list of the qualifiers who finished in 1st place, we would also have to include Kevin Magnussen who won 1st place in the qualifying races in Sao Paolo in 2022 but only started from 8th place.
Among the drivers of the 2023 season, only Lando Norris occupies the 1st place in the charts, in terms of the number of accumulated points and the number of fastest laps achieved.
