As of 2025, Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher had the joint-most World Championship titles, with ***** each. Meanwhile, the constructor with the most World Championship titles was Ferrari.

As of 2025, Lewis Hamilton had won more World Championship points than any other driver, with a total of over 4,000. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel ranked in second and third place respectively.

Creation 🏎️

This dataset was created by web scraping public sources(Official F1 page, wikipedia and F1 fandom web pages), capturing key details of each Formula 1 race, such as date, circuit, winner, team, time, and laps completed by the winner in the grand prix.

Use case 🏁

This dataset can be used to analyze the performance of drivers by comparing how their results evolve throughout different seasons. It also allows:

• Evaluating team performance to identify which constructors dominate specific circuits or periods of time.

• Historical comparisons can be made to contrast race times and victories across different eras.

• The study of driver–circuit affinity, highlighting which drivers consistently excel at certain tracks .

History 🌍

Formula 1, held globally since 1950, is one of the most prestigious motorsport competitions. Over the decades, legends like Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton have dominated the championship. The all-time race win record is shared by Hamilton and Schumacher. Iconic circuits such as Monza, Monaco, and Silverstone have shaped the sport’s legacy, while teams like Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes stand as historic powerhouses.

Inspiration⭐

I wanted to create this dataset to get started on Kaggle and to broadly understand F1 winners, with the goal of creating a more robust dataset to predict and uncover traits in F1 winners.

About Formula 1 (commonly known as F1 or Formula One) stands as the pinnacle of single-seater auto racing, governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and operated by the Formula One Group. Since its debut in 1950, the FIA Formula One World Championship has established itself as one of the most prestigious motorsport competitions globally. The term "formula" refers to the technical regulations that all competing cars must adhere to. Each season comprises a series of races called Grands Prix, held on dedicated racing circuits and street courses around the world.

What's Included: We've compiled a comprehensive dataset covering every aspect of Formula 1 from 1950 through the current 2025 season. This includes detailed records on races, drivers, constructors, qualifying sessions, circuits, lap times, pit stops, and championship standings. The 2025 season—marking F1's 75th anniversary—features a record-tying 24 Grands Prix spanning 21 countries across five continents, along with six Sprint race weekends

As of 2025, Ferrari had won more World Championship points than any other team, with a total of over 11,000. Meanwhile, Mercedes and Red Bull ranked in second and third place respectively.

Context

Formula One is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Ever since its inaugural season in 1950, Formula1 has been regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport.

Content

This dataset contains detailed information about qualifying and race results for all the tracks over the course of multiple seasons. There is a separate directory for each season. There are 2 sub-directories for each season, namely: Qualifying Results and Race Results. The Race Results directory contains an overall_race_results.csv file which summarizes the race results throughout the entire season. It also contains multiple .csv files for the results of each race in the season. The Qualifying Results directory contains multiple .csv files for the qualifying results before the start of each race.

Note

For the 1982 season and before the qualifying results contain only 1 entry in the file which is that of the polesitter. The lap times of the other drivers were not accounted for, and on the official website there is only 1 entry under the qualifying results.

Inspiration

F1 is one of my favorite sports and I almost never miss a race 😄

The motivation behind creating this dataset was to learn more about web scraping and try to perform a statistical analysis of the data. Some of the things you could do with the entire dataset are as follows: - Identify the driver with the most poles - Compare qualifying times of different drivers (championship contenders, team-mates, etc) - Determine how often a particular driver out-qualifies his team-mate - Compare qualifying lap times of a race from previous seasons - Identify the driver with the most number of wins at a particular track - Analyze how the championship battle unfolded based on the number of points scored by the drivers (specially interesting for the 2021 f1 season 👀) - Identify drivers with the highest number of wins, podiums, DNFs, etc - Compare the average lap times of different tracks to identify the slowest and fastest tracks on the calendar - Compare the number of laps for each race in the season (Belgium 2021 being the clear winner 😂) - Find out who won the Driver's Championship based on the total number of points - Find out who won the Constructor's Championship based on the total number of points for each team

Some Common F1 Terms You Might Come Across

• DNF: Did Not Finish. Commonly used nomenclature for drivers that crashed/failed to complete the entire race
• DNQ: Did Not Qualify. Eliminated missing values from the qualifying datasets by introducing this abbreviation for drivers who failed to qualify.
• NC: Not Confirmed. For drivers that DNF the term NC is used in the Position column
• DQ: Disqualified. Generally drivers are disqualified from races due to technical infringements or a breach of sporting regulations (Example: Sebastian Vettel was disqualified from the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix due to fuel irregularites and stripped of all the points he earned from finishing the race in P2)

Future Work

As I collect more data for the previous seasons, I will create new versions for the dataset. The goal with this dataset is to create an archive of qualifying and race data from 1950-2021. The dataset will also be updated when the 2022 season commences.

Context

The Japanese Grand Prix is a motor racing event in the calendar of the Formula One World Championship.

The dataset was generated using the FastF1 API by loading the Japanese Grand Prix race session (denoted as "R") for the 2025 season. Instead of directly accessing a dedicated pit stop attribute (which might not exist in some versions of the API), the data is obtained by filtering the laps data to identify laps that include pit stop times. This approach leverages the 'PitOutTime' field to capture when pit stops occurred during the race.

The context of this data is rooted in understanding the in-race strategies related to pit stops, which can greatly influence race outcomes. Teams and analysts use such information to assess the efficiency of pit stop timings and their impact on overall performance.

Data collection and analysis is one of the most vital part of formula 1 races. On the basis of the data collected by each team, they develop their own car, to innovate the technology they use. Without real-time data analytics, the F1 we know today could be very different. Hundreds of data points per second are generated in all key areas of the cars.
