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

This page is accurate up to and including the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (November 1, 2009).

[edit] 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.
