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 Häkkinen; 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.
