Hi All, As per popular demand, most last place finishes. Since drivers statistics wasn't that interesting alone I have also added teams. Hope you enjoyed it. If yes please consider subscribing Thanks, MK

[@Cavi587]

Crazy to see that except that 1961 Dutch GP there wasn't a single GP in the 20th century that was finished without DNF's. Most driver deaths also happened then. It really shows just how reliability was overlooked back then and the technology simply wasn't there. These days we have cars that are pretty damn fast and as safe as a 300km/h land jet can possibly be.

[@NH-hc8lo]

Friesacher still got points with his last place

[@zbynekurbanek3345]

Minardi are the true legends. They were around for so long just doing their own thing. Winning this chart. Developing some great drivers in the process. And in the end after seasons at the end of the grid transforming into solid and more and more succesfull Torro Rosso and Alpha Tauri :)

[@bloqk16]

With Minardi being an also-ran team for so long, how in the world did they attract sponsors to bankroll the team for the seasons? And doing it for many seasons at that.

[@zbynekurbanek3345]

@@bloqk16 well they were always in the race...the race is televised, the sponsors knew they would get some screen time... the sponsorship deals were of course smaller, but its still a good deal

"Where is Palmer?" "Firmly at the top of the all time 'most last place finishes' ranking for more than 20 years." "Karma."

Isn't that the wrong Palmer on the list though?

[@andro_system]

He is johnathan palmer jolyon palmers dad

[@sdsd2e2321]

It's because he drove the naturally aspirated Tyrrells, which were not only extremely slow but also extremely reliable, so he didn't even get DNFs to put him out of his misery.

[@CoversTavo]

So unfair that they had taken away the possibility of Mazepin from widely leading this ranking for many decades

[@simonhawking9757]

This shows Button has really seen both sides to F1 - as a top 10 last placer and a world champ.

[@reptongeek]

I'm surprised it's so low to be fair. I thought it was more than that

[@timhanel9564]

@@reptongeek looking at Wikipedia I actually count 11 last places. Nevertheless he dnfd 5 times and dns 1 time. So 11 out of 15 Last places we're he didnt dnf.. Aserbaidschan were we had Lewis lock Up(and a panelty for LAT), And spa were there wasnt even a Race. The only three occasions were he beat his teammate on track were GB, Brazil and Monaco so therefore imo the only accountable races for an deserving non Last place finish.

[@gival9042]

Curious how De Cesaris in not part of this list. He either failed to finish or did not that bad... ok he mainly failed to finish 😀

[@MKF1_official]

Exactly, you need to finish some races to get on that list 😂

[@fenrisvii]

De Cesaris is the definition of hit or miss. Either good or DNF. So this is really not a list for him lol

[@matthewbroad2900]

Fun Fact: Narain Karthikeyan has the record for the lowest finishing position. 24th in the 2011 European GP

[@Motorsport_Artwork]

Amazing how Mazepin snuck into the top of an all time list in just 1 year.

[@guessundheit6494]

Jenson Button has the dubious distinction of being the only modern era world champion (post 1980) on the list. Brabham raced in the 1960s (fewer races, more DNFs). Nikita Crashandspin made the list in one year.

[@simonbrunner3062]

Three words to explain that phenomenon: Earth Dreams Honda. His stints at Benetton-Renault in 2001 and McLaren-Honda in 2015/16 didn't help either.

[@foxy126pl6]

I think everyone expected minardi to be the team lol

[@MKF1_official]

Yeah, to be honest I was not expecting them to be that far ahead 😅

[@alejandrop.s.3942]

Mad respect to them for not giving up tho.

[@lucacastoldi1152]

20 years in formula 1 without a budget, without a motor, discovering a lot of young drivers. This is awesome

[@haggerz84]

I think it's mad that there are two F1 World Champions on this list!

[@simonbrunner3062]

I don't know about Brabham, but Button had his fair share of shit cars during his career for sure, from the 2001 Benetton to the 2007/08 Earth Dreams Honda to the 2015/16 McLaren-Honda. And he was known for very rarely making driving mistakes, so he would always bring them to the finish line if they didn't break down.

[@senorsoupe]

Even though it's not the best table to be top of, I love seeing Minardi in first place

[@F1_Archive]

Great video thx

Thx for making it

[@brunoat12]

HRT's presence is just simply amazing, three full years in F1 with >50% of dead last finishes (30 out of 58 races). GP2 engine and aerodynamics but crazy reliability

[@RickZanardi]

I still remember their debut race for every season. 2010: they do the shake down in FP1 because the car only got ready a few days earlier, so slow they single handedly induce the FIA to reinstate the 107% rule 2011: they shed pieces of carbon fiber along the track in Q1, double DNQ 2012: you would expect they got better and so they did, they got a double DNQ without dropping pieces of the car everywhere

[@bloqk16]

I followed F1 racing back when Cooper competed. It was sad to see a one-time top-tiered F1 race car/team go upside down in a decade's time. Where their cars by the late 1960s looked like dinosaurs when compared to the other teams' entries designs.
