F1: 5 Drivers who led the most laps without a race win

#1 Chris Amon - 183 laps

Amon was so close to securing a race win on multiple occasions

Chris Amon takes the top spot on the list. The New Zealander is widely regarded as one of the best drivers to never win a Grand Prix race.

Amon led 183 laps throughout his fourteen-year-long Formula one career but failed to convert that into a single race win. During his time in the sport, the Kiwi managed to secure five pole positions and eleven podiums.

The 1968 season was Amon's best chance to register a race win. Driving for the Ferrari, the New Zealander had excellent qualifying sessions that saw him secure three pole positions. However, he couldn't convert any of them to victories as he suffered multiple retirements that season either due to car trouble or accidents.

Unfortunately, the Kiwi led 72 laps of the Canadian Grand Prix but failed to make it across the finish line due to a problem with the machine's transmission system.

Chris Amon's best finish was a second place, which he achieved thrice in his career. Interestingly, his last podium at the 1972 French Grand Prix came from a pole position while driving for the Matra.
