Question

Which f1 driver had to wait the most years before winning?

Answer 1

Not sure about years. But if counting by races it would be Rubens Barrichello who had 123 races before winning in his 124th. His first win came in germany 2000.

Other long waits include: (race # they won and where)

Jarno trulli- 118th race at Monaco 2004

Jenson Button- 113th race at Hungary 2006

Giancarlo Fisichella- 111th race at Brazil 2003

Answer 2

I might be wrong but I think it was Rubens Barrichello, who made his debut at the South African GP in 1993 but didn't win until Germany 2000. His ( again I think) 125th grand prix.

Answer 3

I would almost have to say Chris Amon, but the eight races he won, were all non-Championship races.

His reputation for bad luck was such that fellow driver Mario Andretti once joked that "if he became an undertaker, people would stop dying".
