Every Record Max Verstappen Has Broken in 2023

[@NotApplicableJB]

Thank you so much for your support during the 2023 season! I already can't wait for next year 😀

[@accent1666]

How about you make a record of the amount of records RB has broken as a team? That would be cool

[@tjeknlgroen8252]

No one will break that record 😢

[@NotApplicableJB]

You're not wrong!

[@bezoekers]

Especially if you consider him extending the records for most wins in a season (etc) as "breaking" it every time.

[@freudsigmund72]

Max has scored 92,7% of the total maximum score possible (if he had won every race, every sprint and every fastest lap)

[@NotApplicableJB]

That is a great one, do you know the driver who was 2nd best to this? if this is the record %

[@the1gladiator2]

​@@NotApplicableJB Vettel scored 83.58% in 2013 Schumacher scored 84.71% in 2002, that would have been 88.24% under the 25-18-15 scoring system. If you ignore sprint races and points for fastest laps Verstappen scores 521 out of 550 points which is 94.73%

[@sarminder4357]

I wish Max would 100% the 2024 season just for the hell of it.

[@AlbertZonneveld]

Max scored more than 26 points average per raceweekend

[@dy7296]

​@the1gladiator2 Actually, there are sprint races as well. So the maximum possible is 550 + 32 + 22 = 604.

[@dyingearth]

Max's superlicense renewal fee will also break records. FIA actually have a multiplier for the number of points you score above a certain threshold and then the multiplier per points kick in. The renewal fee last year was over 1 million euro.

[@Jrh-rp7np]

Somehow I think he can afford it,,,and btw is that not a stupid rule I’ll bet that was some scheme cooked up by Max Mosley and Bernie Eccelstone to bilk money out of the top drivers

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

You'd think the winner, maybe even the top 3, would get it renewed free as part of the prize. Btw, not all drivers are rich. Some pay a lot for their seat. They have to bring in X amount for the drive, then the only pay they get is from personal sponsorship, and that may just be enough to pay for that year's expenses. It's why some drivers in the past had to leave F1 (particularly in the days of the huge entry numbers), not because they weren't good enough, but because they couldn't get a better car in a team that could pay _them_ (often purely because there weren't any spare seats, or they couldn't bring in enough sponsorship. Weirdly, some drivers have been paid to drive but had to bring in millions in sponsorship regardless. Book cooking maybe? It would not surprise me!). Not sure how expensive super licences were when they were introduced, but I doubt it took long before they became prohibitively expensive for the "good enough but still need to pay" drivers (as opposed to the "he's definitely going to be a star" ones).

[@jungleboogie78]

Some years ago he received 40k from RB per point. Not sure if that has become a larger amount after that.

He is indeed the record holder for the most expensive licence fee

[@halloachterland1696]

​@@canismajoris6733thats the fun part, compared to the mercedes from 2014-2016, the rb19 wasnt that dominant over its opponents. The margin being around .2%(rb19) vs .8%(mercedes 2014-16) to the next best car. That being said, the dominance on quali pace was determined after the first two races, and the rest of the grid have improved quite a bit during the season. Secondly, Perez is not really that bad, although he isnt world champion material, but still he pales compared to Verstappen. I don't like it as Ferrari fan, but these are facts.

[@kevinmattsson5718]

Verstappen also got the record for most consecutive points score currently at 1004 and going, while Hamilton had the record before that with 998 points (2018 Silverstone - 2020 Bahrain)

[@QwoaX]

Actually, Verstappen scored 101.8% more points than Perez in P2. Or you could say that Perez scored 49.6% as many points as Verstappen, which invertedly means that the gap from Perez to Verstappen was 50.4% of Verstappen's points. I'm arguing/correcting semantics here but this way, his lead feels even more impressive.

[@AureliusEnterprises]

It's not just semantics. When you use percentages in a comparison, you should always set the thing that you compare it to at 100%. Therefore, saying that Max 101,8% more points is the only correct way of going about it.

[@NotApplicableJB]

I thought this when I was making the video but the way that Wikipedia had calculated the Mansell record is the same way I calculated for Max. But I agree it's counter intuitive

[@plazasta]

@@NotApplicableJB the way you phrased it, it's not counterintuitive, it's plain wrong though. Scoring twice as many points is not 50.4% more points, so either you should've phrased that statistic differently, or Wikipedia's calculation for Mansell's record is wrong as well. (for the sake of completeness, if you wanna phrase this as "X% more points than second place", then Nigel Mansell scored 92.9% more points than Patrese) in fact, looking at the calculation that Wikipedia made for comparing points between first and second, I find it honestly really strange and I really don't understand why they'd have calculated it that way in the first place. That should be corrected.

[@mikemelina7395]

I was thinking the same thing, Max more than doubled his teammate's total.

[@reiniernn9071]

@@plazasta The phrase could be: The second driver had only 49,6% of the winners points. I suppose that wiki giver the top driver 100% because than we can compare the score from all drivers easily to the top driver in %.

[@pshshshvf]

We all know he's extremely talented from his first year but the consistency this season really seals him as one of the best ever. I was afraid he was gonna drop the focus a bit just because he's achieved seemingly everything he could but somehow he just keep breaking more and more records I didn't know existed. He doesn't rest ever even when he's winning the race for sure he's still trying to get the fastest lap just to get more points( that neither him or the team needed lmao) Just pure consistency. That's the most admiring part.

He is absolutely relentless and was still pushing in Abu Dhabi every single lap. You have to hand it to him, he knows exactly how to win.

The monaco pole lap alone can put him in a different caliber. The connection between him and that car is something we haven’t seen in years. It’s something you can’t gloss over.

[@user-tq2og9cw7q]

What not many understand about Max and his greatness is in relation to his age. He is 26 years old, 53 GP wins and 3 WC and this will only increase. Schumacher and Lewis were 28-29 when they won their 25 GP win, when they were Max's age they weren't even over 15 GP wins. Max is guaranteed to be the second driver over 100 GP wins and in time overtake Lewis. I think Lewis felt quite unthreatened in terms of number of GP wins and number of WCs, but Max is speeding along quickly towards the records. Next year he will likely win his fourth and fifth world championships of this era, his number of GPs I think could be over 80 and that is too close to Lewis not to be beaten by a driver who is 6-8 from the peak of his career. We simply see the real GOAT.

[@deadbeef576]

Still, the way he and Red Bull worked towards these records; slowly but surely picking at the long reigning Champions, taking down Lewis and Mercedes with the Honda engine in the most brutal battle F1 has ever seen. Between drivers ánd teams. That was the most special to me. It was not a sudden rule change like Mercedes with the hybrid engine or a big speed advantage from the beginning like Vettel had.

But I have never ever seen someone dominating F1 in the way Max is doing atm. Yes Schumi had 1 dominant season but this lad is doing it over and over again. 10 wins, 15 wins, 19wins in a row. And this season (2024) he will win at least 15 races again. Yes you need a good car to win races but it takes a driver to bring home those wins. No one has ever such dominance driving a winning car. Not Senna, nor Schumi, or even Jim Clark or Fangio, Vettel or Hamilton have ever been so dominant driving a good or great car. This lad doesn't need 6, 7 or 8 world titles to prove to be the most consistent and fastest ever.

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

Most wins in a season for Hamilton: 11 Most wins in a season for Vettel: 13 Most wins in a season for Verstappen: 19

[@larsdemunck4289]

Great video! One tiny correction in your list of records though: he has more than double the points Perez scored, so % points to 2nd is 575 vs 2nd per 285 is 101.75% more points. All is all a great list of records and kudos to a great video! Thank you!

[@benedekszabo254]

Max Verstappen led a grand prix for 248 laps straight, from Miami to Austria (not counting the Austria sprint but IIRC he won there as well from pole, so it would be 272 laps total) Not sure if there's anyone else who had any steak like that but yeah

With his next victory, Max Verstappen wil have the same number of racewins as the racenumber of his first teammate in F1. Add almost all possible records for dutch F1 racers as well. Litte fun fact is another record for a driver in dutch hands : Longest time between successive starts: 3,767 days. Netherlands Jan Lammers (1982 Dutch Grand Prix - 1992 Japanese Grand Prix)

I have to say this records he breaks are insane. Also don't forget the Alfa/Sauber driver ranking video after the season is finished also I forogot to mention add 3 more drivers on the list Nico Hulkenberg, Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez. I forgot to add those three since I didn't have the time to tell you.

[@tyman1014]

Why are people still questioning if this is the most dominant season in F1 history? I know numbers don't tell the whole story, but I can't think of any other season that even comes close to stacking up against this one.

[@ronjadaslieblicheeinhorn3234]

He also equaled Lewis Hamiltons record of most GP wins in one Month. Lewis won from Austria 2016 (3 July) to Germany 2016 (31 July) 4 races. Max won this season from Austria (2 July) to Belgium (30 July) 4 GP as well (and 2 sprint races in July as well). This stat isn't listed in the official wikipedia page of records only in the one with Lewis Hamiltons records. And yes i know, for max the austrian GP weekend had its first session on 30 June, but the GP itself was in July

[@olegebloek]

Max should get awarded 2 additional championships for 2023. One for the fact that he has more than double the points of second place (meaning you could hypothetically repeat the season, give him no points and he would still win). The other one is for winning RedBull the constructors championship by himself.

Max and his team has thrown the entire F1 circus upside down. Even two years later Max is still causing nightmares about 2021 for Toto Wolf and many British F1 fans. Max has caused several teams to fire their aerodynamics engineers, Mercedes and Alpha Tauri did. And Ferrari fired their team manager twice in only a few years time. Max did not just win, he pulverized and humiliated the other teams in a way that the sport has never seen before. And the feeling of embarrassment and pure shock for the other teams and drivers even became clearly visible for the untrained eye. I would call living rent free in Toto's head for two consecutive years a record as well 🤣

[@joejoe8322]

[@freudsigmund72]

[@Evarakeus]

Considering the 2024 calender, I can definitely see Max continuing his current win streak past 10. The car's been very comfortable at Bahrain, Jeddah, Japan, and Miami; the only sticking point might be Australia, and perhaps China but I'd be shocked if it actually runs at this rate

He won 6 races in a row once. He finished 3rd in the championship because he had 8x DNF. By that time he had showed enough. Every team had Max high up their short list. Redbull made sure to beat the competition by doing something nobody else would think was possible: give the seat to a 17 year old. Note that Max went straight from F3 to F1, didn't even need to "proof" himself in F2. Everyone already saw by then Max was a generational talent.

[@viniciusvieiracruz]

Damn you Singapore, it could've been 18 wins in a row and 100% podiums, 2 years in a row now having a bad weekend in Singapore for Verstappen, being that he already managed podiums there, 2nd in 2018 and 3rd in 2019

In the era of teams, has any driver every had a points tally that also won the constructors championship (Max's pts minus Sergio's pts still wins the constructors)

[@sebastianahrens2385]

2:13 One important detail I think is missing here is that Schumi did that in a 17 race season compared to Max's 22. In 2002 Ferrari's dominance in the early 2000s peaked, and they made the entire rest of the grid look like toddlers in push cars. Well tbh, it wasn't Ferrari, it was Todd, Brawn, Byrne and of course The Michael. I'd personally count it as 6 for Max, btw.

[@NotApplicableJB]

That’s a good point, the season was quite a bit shorter. Ferrari were just a completely different animal back then

[@EntropicExergy]

So could we say Max made the entire grid look like babies crawling along on the floor then?

[@benkeijs]

[@connorclarke1218]

The 39 consecutive Grand Prix may be the most impressive

[@degosoft]

If they signed Max up as a single driver team, and we divide Perez his points between Mercedes and Ferrari, Max would still win the constructors championship on his own before Abu Dhabi even started. Now that's what I call dominating a season.

[@leojonkers3181]

Max is a legend, he needs a better second driver in my opion. Lawson? Albon? Never understood why RBR kicked Albon out. Helmut Marko said it already, in a wrong way (for wich he made his excuse) RBR did not need a second driver this year, Max made all the records. But it would be nice if they have a 1/2 podium now and then. You make great vlogs my friend!

[@stevedoe8622]

They kicked Albon because he was 0-17 against Max in quali. Even Checo managed to get 2 against Max

Max dominated Albon and whitewashed him in qualifying. We haven’t seen enough of Lawson really to justify that seat.

[@cecilialeitet2794]

it won´t matter who they put in that 2nd car. Max is going to destroy them as he always does. Better for Red Bull to stick to an experienced driver who is a clear number 2 than put a young, hungry driver there and completely destroy their confidence and/or career. There is a reason Riccardo left RB, and that reason is not going away anytime soon.

[@roderickmain9697]

As its a team sport I think there are probably records that the team, and in particular, Adrian Newey, are pulling off in the background too. Christain Horner for most successful team principal?

I know F1 is popular and to be honest having the Netflix series I’ve paid more attention but one thing that amazes Me is that it has been so popular despite the race itself is nearing the point of irrelevance with qualifying seeking to matter more than the race itself. Passing is just to hard in F1. That’s one thing NASCAR has up on F1 because of F1 cars designs being so low and controllable that they rarely get unsettled so basically as long as someone doesn’t screw up the braking. Into a corner they are firm and if you really think about the F1 design is kind of crazy. You’re putting the most important part of your car (the only part of a car that touches the ground) the wheels unprotected poking out only connected by some spindly bars. It’s more interesting to me now but I still think there is a huge black hole in the the way it’s scored. Only giving out points to the top 10 in theory seems fine but in practice it screws the racing up. It leads to teams having one small little issue, sometimes as small as a flat tire on the other side of the track and the teams call it a day. If they don’t see themselves getting back to the top 10 there’s little reason to go on and risk the expensive car so they call it a day. F1 could really take some pointers from nascar in that way as well. In nascar you see crews working on the car despite going far behind and even laps down because you never know what could happen and there are points to be had.

10:46 That's not how you count percentages. The difference between 575 and 285 is 290, which is 101.75% of 285. So Max got 101.75% more points than Checo.

[@SevenTheMisgiven]

It's both a shame and simply the truth that these statistics don't mean as much considering we have more races than ever but at the same time Max actually did have a season that is comparable to Schumachers best seasons and he deserves every bit of it. Because not too many years ago we were saying that a lot of these records seemed impossible to beat. And yet here is Max Verstappen beating a lot of the difficult ones. I.e. win percentages with more races to go from. 75% over 8 races is really sort of a troll statistic. 86% over 22 races is so much more impressive. Reliability certainly plays a huge part in this but we have had quite a few decades where this is mostly the case anyway while it's also still perfectly possible to have reliability issues especially considering the complicated software they use for the engines now.

[@bertbouwhuis]

Can't check if anyone mentioned this: . Max broke most 'curses' for tracks (for example Monza where a race winner would not win the next year, Max did) . Max broke the number of records broken in a season (so a record of records:-)) . Max is one of the few if not the only one to win in one season... - the 4 classic races (Monza, Monaco, Spa, Silverstone) - all races in Europe - all races in the America's (North-> Canada +3xUSA, Central: Mexico South : Brasil). _ the Zandvoort Grand Prix as the only one 3 times in a row (2021-2022-2023) aside from Jim Clark back in the day (1963/1964/1965)
