McLaren fell just seven laps short of completing every lap in the 2024 F1 season, as a result of Lando Norris' clash with Max Verstappen in Austria. 

Norris and Verstappen collided at Turn 3 on Lap 64 of the Austrian Grand Prix, which led to the British driver retiring at the end of that lap. 

It meant Norris failed to complete the final seven laps at the Red Bull Ring, the only laps which stopped McLaren from a 100% completed laps record in 2024. 

Oscar Piastri completed every lap, whilst Norris falling just seven laps short meant the Woking-based team completed 2881 laps last year – 99.7% of the campaign. 

Ferrari completed the second-most laps, whilst Mercedes secured third on the most laps completed table for last season.

Completing the top five were, surprisingly, Stake F1 and Haas, with Red Bull in sixth. The Milton Keynes-based team completed 91.8% of the laps in 2024, mostly caused by Sergio Perez's four retirements.

Unsurprisingly, Williams completed the least laps by a comfortable margin, due to the numerous crashes for Alex Albon, Logan Sargeant and Franco Colapinto. 

Just 79.8% of the 2024 season was completed by the Grove-based team.

Check out below how many laps each team completed in 2024!
