List of lap records for current circuits:

Melbourne: Frentzen (1997), 1min30.585
Sepang: doesn't count because there was no lap record prior to the 'grooved era'
Interlagos: M Schumacher (2000), 1min14.755
Imola: R Schumacher (2001), 1min25.524
Barcelona: Fisichella (1997), 1min22.242
A1-Ring: Hakkinen (2000), 1min10.410
Monte Carlo: M Schumacher (2000), 1min19.475
Montreal: M Schumacher (2000), 1min18.439
