Closest F1 Race Finishes

How this is measured

The gap between the winner and the runner-up at the flag.

• Only races where the winner and the runner-up completed the same number of laps are counted. A lapped runner-up has no comparable time gap.
• The 1950–1960 Indianapolis 500 rounds counted towards the world championship but were run to American rules with roughly 33-car grids and almost no overlap in entrants. They are excluded from every leaderboard on this site.
• The current season is included, so these figures change after every Grand Prix.
