0 WINS 0 PTS −69 TO LEADER About these data Data: F1DB · Marcel Overdijk and contributors , CC BY 4.0 . Adapted for season-based display; source points are preserved.
Points are retained from the source standings. We do not recalculate historical seasons using the modern scoring system. Drivers who changed teams may have multiple constructors.
Points are taken from the final F1DB standings; historical dropped-score rules are preserved. We do not sum race points.
NC rows document participants with at least one start, no points and no position in the final F1DB standings. NC is the display label for a missing position, not a placing assigned by us. Entries without any starts are excluded.
Team names use the constructor and engine from this season. A driver’s number is shown only when the same number is verified across all of their results that season.
