Races entered and started
Drivers are considered to be "entered" into a race if they attempt to compete in at least one official practice session with the intent of entering the race. These drivers are noted on the "entry list" for that race. A driver is considered to have started a race if they line-up on the grid (or at the pitlane exit) for the start of a race. If a race is stopped and re-started, participation in any portion of the race is counted, but only if that portion was in any way counted towards the final classification (e.g., most races stopped before the end of the leader's 2nd lap had the first part declared null and void in the 1990s and early 2000s, but the first part did count if it was run for more than 1 complete lap before the race was stopped).

9 | Juan Manuel Fangio | 9<ref name="JMF_frconsec">Some sources extend Fangio's sequence to 27 consecutive starts from front row, by discounting the intervening 1954, 1955, 1956 and 1957 Indianapolis 500, on the basis that although the Indianapolis 500 was part of the Drivers' Championship from 1950 to 1960, very few of the European drivers and teams ever competed there. By this standard, Fangio started from the front row consecutively from the 1953 German Grand Prix up to the 1957 French Grand Prix.</ref> | 1954–1955 | 1954 Belgian Grand Prix–1955 Monaco Grand Prix<ref name="FR3">Grids were not always 2-per-row staggered.</ref> |
