Has anyone got a worse record than Lando for losing the lead from pole
in the first lap? Or failing to convert pole to a win?

I don't know exact numbers, but Leclerc didn't convert pole to victory
many times.

A little fiddling in Forix says Norris has eight poles, with only two
wins from them.
Leclerc has 26 poles and only 5 wins from them.
The other guy with 26 poles is Mika HΣkkinen; 10 wins.

WOW!
Leclerc has less than 20% sucess ratio.
Mika was better with 38%
And Lando is on 25%.
So, Leclerc is really the worst in this regard. It would be nice if
there is an analysis for this record. Does anyone know about it?
I wonder what happened to our resident statistician (I forget his
name)? He used to come up with some amazing stats, mainly derived
from Forix.

Thinking of Brian Lawrence? He mentioned once or twice that he had his
own database. He hasn't posted in rasf1 for a couple of years.
Getting some data out of Forix is easy (list of all winners with number
of wins; same for poles) but other questions would be tedious without an actual database to query.

Thanks for this, Mark. Yes, it was Brian Lawrence. Shame he doesn’t
post here anymore.
My memory has deteriorated badly over the last couple of years (I’m
now in my 86th year).
Over the last few weeks I have been working on putting the qualifying data into a database. Having more or less finished this task I have analysed all drivers qualifying records to produce a more accurate table of the all-time best qualifiers.
