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 restarted, 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).

Total races finished in the points
From 1950 to 1959, only the first five finishers and the driver who set the fastest lap were awarded points; from 1960 to 2002, only the first six finishers were awarded points; from 2003 to 2009, the first eight finishers were awarded points; and from 2010 onwards the first ten finishers were awarded points. This means that the chances of obtaining a points finish have varied over the years.

- ↑ Apicella joined Jordan for Monza, qualifying 23rd, but was knocked out of the race at the first corner and never started a Grand Prix again.
