For some F1 Drivers it is easy to win grand prix because they are so Uber talented that they find a way to win lots of races in the F1 career but not all of them are as lucky as these select few drivers as there are some drivers for whom it has taken years of racing to get their first win of their careers and when they win came, it was a very special moment for them. These Drivers are some of the greats but somehow it takes them longer to win races and the fans are also so happy for them when it happens.
These F1 Drivers are regular starters in the F1 grid but there are a few drivers who are more talented than them or they have better cars so the other drivers are unable to win as many races as the ones who win quite a lot. Hopefully fewer drivers have to wait so long to get their first grand prix win. So let’s look at the Top 5 F1 with most races before the first Grand Prix win.
Sergio Perez (190th Race):
Sergio Perez had to wait the longest out of all the drivers in FQ history to get his maiden grand prix win and it came in his 190th Race so it shows that he was one of the best that he was able to start so many races in his career and he is always among the Top 5 drivers of the year so for him to wait so long was surprising. Finally in the year 2020 the moment came for him and he won the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix and that moment is something he will me er forget no matter how successful he becomes.
Mark Webber (130th Race):
The second driver on this is the British driver Mark Webber and he had to wait till his 130th Race to win his first grand prix but still he had to wait 60 races less than Sergio Perez and the moment for Mark Webber came at the 2009 German Grand Prix and in that race he was determined to win that race and end his drought and that’s exactly what he did and his win that day meant a lot to him because it was validation that he belonged there.
Rubens Barrichello (123rd Race):
The third driver on this list is the Brazilian driver Rubens Barrichello and he had to wait till his 123rd race to win a grand Prix and he made it count as he won a dominant race and after he won his first Grand Prix he won a lot of races and his first win came In the year 2000 at the German Grand Prix and if looks like the German Grand Prix is a good event to end droughts.
Jarno Trulli (119th Race):
The fourth driver on this list is Jarno Trulli from Italy and he was one of the best drivers in the circuit when he was racing and it took him lesser time than the others but he had to wait till his 119th race to taste victory for the first time in Formula 1 and this sweet victory for him came at the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix and it was the only win in his career but it is a moment he will cherish forever.
Jenson Button (113th Race):
He is the only one inn this list to win the F1 World Championship and he won it in 2009 but not all was smooth sailing fir this British driver as he had to wait a long time for his first win and it came in his 119th race in the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix and after that win he never looked back and had a total of 15 wins in his career and only got better and then in 2009 the moment came when he won his first Formula 1 World Championship and that is a very special feeling for any driver.
