Did he miss one race at the start? Imola was the third race right?
He failed to qualify for the Brazilian GP (27th of 28 entries), qualified
26th and last for the Pacific GP, finishing 11th. Then Imola.

gpsql shows him as retired in '55 Monaco with no points.
(Though he actually scored 4 points).

Nur '56 had a DNS. Doesn't qualify as DNF?

Hence didn't make it to the list I created.

Almost in sync with gpql, though I didn't check each and every
entry after 2 starts (just too many entries).

Notes

There is no consistent definition of what counted as a "finish". Most
data came from Steve Small's "Grand Prix Who's Who", 3rd edition (2000).

NC - Not Classified (technically not a "finish")

F2 - drove in a separate F2 class

shared - either took over another car or handed his car to another driver.
(those who handed over their car didn't actually "finish", but I'm
including them here anyway)
I think we shouldn't include NC, DNS, Non-qualified in the above
above list. I am still puzzled over Perdisa entry.

Perdisa and Behra had swopped cars at mid-race and he finished 3rd with
Behra's car.

We had the following records :

+--------+----------+-----------+------------+-----------+-----------+
Quote:
ResNum | ResPlace | ResGrille | ResNumVoit | ResPilote | ResPoints |
+--------+----------+-----------+------------+-----------+-----------+
5828 | 3 | 5 | 34 | BEHR | 2.00 |
5829 | 3 | 99 | 34 | PERD | 2.00 |
17817 | 70 | 11 | 40 | PERD | 0.00 |
19041 | 70 | 99 | 40 | BEHR | 0.00 |
+--------+----------+-----------+------------+-----------+-----------+

ResPlace = 70 is "retirement" code
ResGrille (Grid) = 99 is shared drive code for drivers who started the
race with another car.

Surely a DNF means Did Not Finish or retired from the race before the
chequered flag. Some (though not all - I haven't checked) of the NCs
were happily racing when the flag came out but were considered to be
too far behind the winner to be classified. Others may have retired, but
had completed more laps than some of the other "finishers".

In order to fail to finish a race you have to have started it - neither
a DNS nor a DNQ count as a start, so a DNF simply isn't possible in those
circumstances. The actual circumstances of a DNS may well affect any
ruling though - if a driver is injured and can't start he is obviously
a DNS, but what if he lines up on the grid and takes the start only for
the clutch to fail - is that a DNS or a DNF? Each example would need to
be checked to give a definitive answer. My list merely included all
those who MIGHT qualify as never having a DNF. It wasn't meant to be
absolutely 100% complete.

As Patrick wrote, Perdisa took over Behra's car to finish the race.
Where I wrote "shared" in the list some drivers handed over their cars
and really didn't finish the race, while some took over a car from
another driver and did finish. I didn't research each and every one to
see whether that was the case.

Pretty sure that's a DNF. He "started", after all.

And if he lines up and start the parade lap, but fail to take the start
because of a mechanical failure _before_ coming back to the grid for the
real start, for example ?

In this case, he qualified and was ready to take the start, but the car
failed before the real start. IMHO this is a case in which DNS is equal
to a retirement (DNF), like it happened in Indy 2005 to the Michelin
teams, or to Schumacher in France 1996.

The "parade" lap of any F1 race is, in fact, lap 1. So any car which
finishes the parade lap has started the race, surely?

Crap. My bad Patrick, but give me the benefit of doubt; it was 0330 in
the morning when I made that post and for some strange reason, my eyes
interpreted 3rd driver/3D as "Friday driver";

BTW, you dropped pilactivite col?

Simple. The parade lap (real name: "observation" lap) is counted as a
lap of the race. Therefore, in the above example, the driver is counted
as starting by dint of this (strange) convention.

Yes, many test drivers in F1 are active in other formulae (Vettel 1st in
WSR, Nakajima in GP2..). I'm using now the table plateau, no more an
only F1 table.

Old query:

where PilActivite = 'F1'

New query:

join plateau on PilCode = PlaPilote and PlaCateg = 'F1'.

I will add a Change file with future database modifications
(result.ResNumGp2 for sequences excluding Indy).

I have some problems with my new web server for database updates. Check
the date on download page. Next will be Monday with Spanish GP. I have
now MySQL 4.1 and I will remove 3.2 support.
