Grand Prix of Italy
Behra couldn't secure a win despite leading for over 100 laps

Jean Behra is one of the two drivers in the history of Formula One to lead over 100 laps without registering a race win.

The Frenchman found the most success while driving for the Maserati from 1955 to 1957. During those three years, Behra secured seven podiums, with five of them coming in the 1956 season.

Two second-place finishes at the 1956 and the 1957 Argentina Grand Prix were his career-best finishes.

Behra led the better part of the 1957 British Grand Prix before retiring due to a clutch failure. In his last season, while driving for the Ferrari, the Frenchman had a chance to break his unfortunate record at the iconic Monaco Grand Prix. Jean Behra led the season's opener for over 20 laps before being forced to retire due to an engine failure.
