Oscar Piastri has become just the fourth driver in F1 history to complete every single lap of a grand prix season, matching three iconic world champions.
There were 1,444 laps across the 2024 season, with Piastri being the only full-time driver on the grid to complete every single one, with Ferrari and Haas rookie Ollie Bearman completing all 170 laps he raced in his three race starts.
But of the full-time drivers, Piastri was the only one to complete all 1,444 and only narrowly so after being the last car on the lead lap as team-mate Lando Norris won at Yas Marina to seal McLaren's constructors' title.
Norris completed 1,437, only missing the seven laps from the end of the Austrian GP after his clash with Max Verstappen.
In doing so, Piastri has matched Michael Schumacher in 2002, Lewis Hamilton in 2019 and Max Verstappen in 2023 of completing every racing lap in a season.
Only Piastri of that quad did not become drivers' world champion, but the Australian did pick up his first two grand prix wins in Hungary and Azerbaijan to help McLaren secure its first constructors' since 1998.
The table belows shows the number of laps each driver raced in the 2024 F1 season, with the total percentage of their laps raced also shown.
For example, Jack Doohan who only raced once in Abu Dhabi and who completed 57 of the 58 laps, having been lapped by Norris, has a percentage of completed laps of 98.7%, compared to 93.2% for Lewis Hamilton who completed 1,346 of the 1,444 in his final Mercedes season.
Hamilton missed 98 laps through an engine failure after 15 completed laps in Australia, and then spun off after one completed lap in the United States.
