Notes[]

  1. ^ 20 cars started the warmup lap before the start, but 14 cars pulled to pit lane during the start and did not participate in the race as part of a Michelin withdrawal.
  2. ^ All cars finished the race apart from Felipe Nasr, who was still classified as he had completed more than 90% of the race distance.
  3. ^ All cars finished the race apart from Brendon Hartley, who was still classified as he had completed more than 90% of the race distance.
  4. ^ The result was declared based on the order after one lap behind the safety car due to heavy rain.
  5. ^ It is disputed if the number of overtakes at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix is zero or one.[10][11]
  6. ^ Since 1982, all race timings have been done to the nearest 0.001 seconds, but previously many races, including the 1971 Italian Grand Prix, were not. As a result it is impossible to know whether the finish was closer than that of the 2002 United States Grand Prix.
  7. ^ This is an unrecognised claim made by Williams.
  8. ^ 22 races were originally planned for the 2020 Championship before several calendar revisions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were made, eventuating in 17 races held.
  9. ^ 23 races were originally planned for the 2021 Championship before several calendar revisions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were made, eventuating in 22 races held.
