Grands Prix: Without leading a lap

Most Grands Prix started without ever leading a lap.

Data coverageSince 1996

Who led each lap comes from Jolpica's lap-by-lap data, which starts in 1996. Neither F1DB nor Jolpica has lap leaders for earlier races, so they aren't counted. The latest races are added when Jolpica's delayed dump (about two weeks behind) includes them. To keep "first" meaningful, only those whose first Grand Prix was in 1996 or later are listed.
