Jensons chassis has many different records:

* Most Km covered by a single chassis (16136.943 KM by my records)
* Engine/Chassis record - 3 Consecutive Wins (Bahrain, Spain, Monaco)

I think that Alonsos R26 still holds the most laps led record over Jensons.

Other drivers that have has Chassis last an entire season that i know about are:

David Coulthard - Red Bull-Renault RB2-03 in 2006
Scott Speed - Toro Roso-Cosworth STR1-01 in 2006
Kazuki Nakajima - Williams-Toyota FW30-04 in 2008
Nico Rosberg - Williams-Toyota FW31-03 in 2009

Other than that, im not sure if there is any more, but im only going back as far as 2006, i may do the chassis charts for 2005 and before, but my records only date back till the start of the V8 era, excluding the V10 cosworth that STR used in 2006.

EDIT:

According to my records, Ferarri started using a new numbering system in 1970, starting with the 312B, the first of the current numbering system the 312B-001 was driven by Jacky Ickx in South Africa in 1970. The last chassis to be built by Ferarri that was raced was the F60-280 by Giancarlo Fisichella in Abu Dhabi. Thus Ferarri average roughly 7 chassis builds a year.

I recon the current F10 will be numbered the F10-281 or F10-282 or something to that effect.
Quoting myself to show. The fact that i got the next Ferari chassis numbers before that article showed up.
