Sebastien Buemi and Stoffel Vandoorne's combined winless streak in Formula E amounted to almost nine years until they both ended their droughts in recent weeks, in the Monaco and Tokyo rounds respectively.
But they weren't the only past series champions enduring winless chapters. Another name still sticks boldly out: Vandoorne's former DS Penske team-mate, Jean-Eric Vergne.
His last win is now 39 races, or two years and four months, ago.
Just how does one of Formula E's traditionally more excitable and forthright drivers become an under-the-radar, headline-free, clinical results-gatherer that ticks over points so regularly and so consistently, yet without hitting the magic 25?
Over the last two and a half seasons Vergne may have only scored one victory (Hyderabad in February 2023) but he has also taken six podiums and four pole positions. He was fifth two seasons ago, fifth last season, and is fifth in the standings now - in what has pretty much across the board been the third-best technical package.
That last point, beyond the statistics, might not feel like much of a deficit. Yet, when you consider that a third-best package in Formula E means 11th/12th on merit at best when the top manufacturers' customer teams are added to the equation, then Vergne has performed superbly.
Still the win famine stretches though. And that must hurt. Or does it?
"Look, it doesn't bother me," Vergne tells The Race.
"I'm not the kind of driver that would say, 'I've done that so I don't need to prove anything anymore.'
"I still need to prove, but not to anyone. If people stop believing in me, it's their problem and frankly I don't care.
"I've only got things to prove to myself. I know that I have everything I need to win races, just a little bit more luck here and there. But I'm not in the situation where I'm being frustrated because I don't have a race win. I know what I can do. I know the motivation I still have. I have everything that I need and the support of my team.
"People can think what they want, but I know my time will come back again and that I will win more races."
Some seriously classic Vergne rhetoric there. Sass upon sass. He's confident the wins will come and you'd be a fool to bet against it. Formula E's only double champion can become a triple one but he'll possibly have to wait until Gen4. He's 35 now but like Buemi and Lucas di Grassi you sense he will be in Formula E until his late thirties at least.
There was an under-the-radar change at the end of last season when Vergne's long-time engineer Thibault Arnal moved on to the Maserati MSG side of the Stellantis attack. That meant a new engineer in Kyle Wilson-Clarke, Pascal Wehrlein's former engineer at Porsche.
"Honestly, JEV is really, really impressive," Wilson-Clarke tells The Race.
"I did a lot of work with my previous team, like studying his competitive radio. So, I did come into the team with a preconceived idea, which wasn't the best, but he's completely destroyed those preconceived ideas."
Vergne gets that a lot in the paddock. His directness comes because he's not there to please anyone and everyone. He's frank and candid, which is often confused for something a bit pricklier. Even within some media he is slightly feared because if he's got nothing to say he won't churn out some fluffy bullshit.
"I'm friendly with anyone, but I'm here to do a job," he says.
"What people think about me, as long as I stay professional to my team and to the sponsors representing my team and to the championship, the rest, frankly people can think what they want.
"There are some people in the team coming to me that were a little bit, I don't know, scared, a bit preconceived ideas about working with me, but it all turns out to be great."
This stretches to team-mates, too. Vergne had a temporary issue, and vice versa, with Sam Bird at DS Virgin back in 2016. That was soon resolved. There were inflamed moments with Antonio Felix da Costa at DS Techeetah, but they got over it. He was and is good friends with Andre Lotterer and Vandoorne. What's to fear? Not a lot.
"With Max, it's going very well," adds Vergne of Vandoorne's replacement Maximilian Guenther.
"Everybody said it was going to be a massive fight, but look, we got along very well. He's doing a great job. We're doing a great job together for the team, a very good understanding, playing the game, helping each other in the race when it needs to be.
"People may think that I would never do such things for any driver, but here I am doing it. But I am also here to win for me, too."
Few doubt he will very soon.
