Red Bull are the only team on the grid to have finished every race this season, with both cars seeing the checkered flag at all eleven races which have passed since March 27th.
Whilst their KERS unit may have failed them on numerous occasions, more than can be counted on two hands, the RB7 has battled on to complete 1,362 laps, or 100% race distance.
Whilst things could change in the remaining seven races, the tally so far is quite impressive and has seen both Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber finish in the points at every single race – Vettel has been on the podium in every race but one, Webber has missed out on five podiums, but his worst finish is just fifth.
In second place is the Force India which has finished all but three races, completing 96% of the maximum race distance so far this season, or 1,308 laps.
Ferrari come in third with 1,273 laps having had three DNF’s in total; Fernando Alonso in Canada after he made contact with Jenson Button, whilst Felipe Massa failed to finish the Spanish GP with a gearbox failure and contact with Lewis Hamilton in Monaco put him out of that race.
McLaren and Toro Rosso finish joint fourth in the reliability stakes having completed 1,261 laps.
The worst performing team is that of Team Lotus which has failed to finish eight races, only completing 77.3% of the total distance. Hispania have completed less laps, but taking into consideration their failure to qualify within 107% at the Australian GP, it actually puts them ahead of the Anglo-Malaysian outfit.
