Sami Pajari Career Wins On Record

6 wins are listed on the career record. Those 6 wins are given as they appear in the source — event, season and co-driver where a co-driver applies — rather than summarised into a career total, because a summarised total is the kind of number that goes quietly out of date. The results below are the record itself — each win, the season it was won in, and the co-driver alongside him for it. A career of 6 wins reads differently depending on how many starts it took, which is why the season results follow rather than a standalone win total.

Sami Pajari season by season from 2019 to 2026: which team, which car, and where each campaign finished.

Teams Sami Pajari Has Driven For

A team list is a blunt instrument on its own — it says nothing about which car was competitive — which is why the season-by-season results table above gives his finishing positions alongside each one.

Every driver page here is generated from the same record, so the figures are comparable across them. The method is set out in the editorial policy, and the desk that maintains these pages is the Finnish Desk.

Career fields are Wikidata claims (birth date, birthplace, teams, honours) and the results tables are the career-statistics tables from the same entity's reference article, source. Formula 1 career totals are from our own Finnish F1 dataset; 2026 finishes are the official classification via the Jolpica Ergast mirror. Checked 26 August 2026. Where a figure is absent it is because the record does not carry it.
