Lance Stroll has taken an unwanted F1 record off Johnny Herbert following the United States Grand Prix.

Stroll now has the most starts in F1 history without recording a fastest lap.

The Canadian has 162 race starts to his name but has never set the fastest lap in a race.

He’s moved one ahead of Herbert, who is on 161 starts.

Stroll endured another lacklustre weekend in Austin, finishing 15th, and a lap down.

It was a miserable weekend on the whole for Aston Martin as despite Fernando Alonso’s Q3 appearance, he slumped to 13th in the final classification.

Alex Albon has broken the 100-race barrier for races without a fastest lap.

Most starts without a fastest lap in F1 history

Lance Stroll - 162 starts

Johnny Herbert - 161 starts

Martin Brundle - 158 starts

Lewis Hamilton re-overtakes Max Verstappen

Despite his DNF at the United States Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has re-overtaken Max Verstappen in terms of win percentage.

Hamilton had a shocking weekend in Austin, spinning out of the race in the early laps of the race.

However, one crumb of comfort for the seven-time world champion is now that his percentage for race wins is now ahead of Verstappen.

It’s very close though.

Lewis Hamilton - 29.91

Max Verstappen - 29.90

Michael Schumacher 29.64
