Okay, so I was digging into some F1 stats today and stumbled upon a really interesting one – “most podiums without a win”. It got me thinking, who are these guys who consistently get so close but never actually grab the top spot? I decided to find out.
First, I opened up my browser. My go-to for this kind of thing is usually just plain old Google. I typed in “most podiums without a win f1”.

The search results popped up, I get some informaiton from there.
I listed who had many podiums without a single win, and how many podium finishes they had.
- Nick Heidfeld:13 Podiums
- Stefan Johansson: 12 Podiums
- Chris Amon:11 Podiums
- Romain Grosjean: 10 Podiums
I was pretty surprised, to be honest. I mean, these guys, they’re landing on the podium, getting those champagne showers, but never actually winning the whole thing. That must be so frustrating, and it makes you respect their consistency!
