Where each championship finished
Final championship position by season, ringed for a title. No dot: not in the final standings, or excluded. Dots are coloured for each season’s final team: the entrant’s national racing colour, not the team’s. A hollow dot has no colour on record.

Entries is counted here from the race records, one for every race a driver was entered for, and wins, podiums and poles are counted the same way and checked against the published totals on every build. Starts is counted from those records too: an entry is a start unless the result the source printed says it never was - did not qualify, pre-qualify, start or practise, or excluded before the start - so a pit-lane start counts and so does a retirement on the first lap. The published entry and start figures are a separate count kept for the few drivers who have one, reached by rules this database does not hold. Where a published figure and the counted one disagree, both are shown and neither is corrected.
