F1: Drivers without a single DNF in an entire season

#8 Lewis Hamilton – 2017

Lewis Hamilton won his fourth driver’s title in 2017 and he was assisted in his championship winning run by the fact that he scored points in each of the 20 races that were a part of the F1 calendar.

The Briton was in a closely fought battle with rival Sebastian Vettel throughout most of the year, but Lewis’ performances in the second half of the season helped him clinch the title. The Mercedes driver triumphed at nine Grands Prix and his worst result of the season was 9th in Mexico.

Hamilton’s teammate, Valtteri Bottas and Esteban Ocon almost managed a perfect finish record for 2017. However, Bottas retired in Spain, while Romain Grosjean ran into Ocon’s Force India at the Brazilian Grand Prix, forcing his retirement.
