F1: Drivers without a single DNF in an entire season

#2 Richie Ginther – 1964

Richie Ginther

Richie Ginther drove for BRM in 1964, which was incidentally his last year with the team before switching to Honda. He ended the 1964 season with 23 points, sharing fourth place with Lorenzo Bandini as he managed to secure a podium finish both in Monaco and Austria.

That year, ten Grands Prix were held, from which the best six results contributed towards the championship standings. Despite not winning the title, Gunther managed to complete all ten races, securing points in only six races.

A solid team player nonetheless, the American came very close to winning the title in 1963 as he eventually finished second. He competed in every race and scored 29 conclusive points, despite retiring in France and South Africa.
