Hulkenberg and Stroll lead F1's most-points non-winners

Nico Hulkenberg finally secured his first Formula 1 podium at the 2025 British Grand Prix, after starting 19th on the grid in mixed conditions at Silverstone. He held off Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages, despite 239 previous starts without reaching the podium.

Romain Grosjean reached the podium 10 times in an 11-year career, and came closest to victory at the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix, where he finished second, 2.5 seconds behind Lewis Hamilton. Lance Stroll has podiums and a pole position to his name, and had built a 10-second lead from pole at the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix before falling back after his second pit stop.

Stroll reached 300 career points after the 2025 season opener in Australia, with only two drivers ahead of him on that measure. Alex Albon, unlike others on the list, has already driven race-winning machinery, having been promoted from Toro Rosso for the final nine rounds of 2019.
