This year he scored 575 points in 22 races, winning 19 out of 3. The Dutch driver reigned supreme and set numerous records behind the wheel of the RB19. Including the longest winning streak.
Longest winning streak by a Formula 1 driver
#1 Max Verstappen (Red Bull) – 10 wins
Max Verstappen became the first driver in Formula 1 history to win 10 consecutive races in a season. He beat Sebastian Vettel’s record in 2013.
The three-time world champion initially faced competition from teammate Sergio Pérez, but then the Mexican began to make more and more mistakes and stopped resisting. Since the Miami Grand Prix, Verstappen has won 10 races and set a record at Monza.
#2 Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) – 9 wins
The German driver held the record for most consecutive victories for 10 years as he drove the Red Bull RB9 to win his fourth consecutive championship title.
Vettel remains the only driver in Formula 1 history to win every race in the second half of the season, having won at Spa in Brazil in 2013, extending his winning streak to nine.
#3 Max Verstappen (Red Bull) – 7 wins
Verstappen has 19 victories this year and has had two separate winning streaks. After his 10-race winning streak ended at the Singapore Grand Prix, the Red Bull driver won seven consecutive races from Japan until the final Grand Prix of the season in Abu Dhabi.
If the RB20 proves to be as competitive as the RB19, there is a good chance that by winning the first four races of the 2024 season, Verstappen will break his own record.
#4 Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) – 7 victories
The former Mercedes driver is on a seven-match winning streak since losing the 2015 championship to teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Nico Rosberg did not lose a single race in Mexico in 2015 until the Russian Grand Prix in 2016. His streak ended when he collided with his teammate and championship rival in Barcelona on the first lap .
#5 Michael Schumacher (Ferrari) – 7 victories
The 2004 season was arguably the greatest of Michael Schumacher’s career, as he won seven races in a row.
He began his streak with a victory at the European Grand Prix and only left the top step of the podium at the Spa race. By then, he had already won a record seventh world championship.
