In modern Formula 1, continuity is highly valued, with drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen staying with a single team for years, even over a decade. However, there are also nomad drivers whose careers involve frequent team changes, almost as quick as changing tyres. To identify the most frequent team-switching drivers, we conducted a statistical analysis based on total grand prix starts. Our ranking required drivers to have switched teams at least three times and have made a start in this millennium. The top spot went to a driver who competed in only two grands prix in the 2000s. Had the threshold been lower, Sakon Yamamoto would have won with an average of only seven races per team for three teams. The number of teams wasn’t the only factor, as seen with Heikki Kovalainen who raced for Renault, McLaren, and Lotus, but the distinction between Lotus and Caterham led to complexity.
