Lewis Hamilton will become the sixth driver to reach the 300 F1 races milestone when he starts the 2022 French GP. Fernando Alonso is the only active driver to have more than 300 starts to his name, though Sebastian Vettel is on course to join the exclusive club if he continues in 2023.
Due to the threat of death or serious injury, combined with smaller world championship calendars, F1 careers used to be shorter, though drivers did also contest non-championship events not included in these numbers.
