Consecutive F1 seasons on podium

After finishing on the podium in the first Formula1 season, Juan Manuel Fangio and Giuseppe Farina finished on the podium in the first race in 1951, being the first drivers to finish on the podium in consecutive seasons.

Also in 1951, Alberto Ascari achieved this performance by placing on the podium in the third race at Spa-Francochamps and Luigi Fagioli at Rheims.

Among the above, only Farina and Ascari managed to obtain a classification on the podium in 1952. Both obtained the podium in 1953, thus having four consecutive seasons, among them only Farina finished on the podium in 1954 and 1955 F1 seasons.

The record is held by Lewis Hamilton who, since his debut in 2007 and until 2023, managed to get a podium every season, reaching milestone 17. The next on the list is Michael Schumacher with 15 consecutive seasons on the podium and Sebastian Vettel with 14.

Number of drivers having consecutive F1 podiums seasons by year

In the graph above, we have the number of drivers per year who managed to place on the podium in consecutive seasons, adding one unit for each season.

For example Fangio, although he was among the first in 1950 and 1951, will be present with a unit only from 1953 to 1957 when he had the most.

In the 1950 season we have 3 units, which correspond to Farina, Ascari and Fagioli.

From the list of drivers who had consecutive seasons on the podium in F1, only Fangio(5), Fagiolo(2), Karl Kling(2), Gunar Nilsson(2), Jackie Stewart(9), Jim Clark(9), Juan Pablo Montoya(6) and Hamilton(17) managed to get a podium in every season in which they started in Formula 1.
