As a F1 fan, I wanna see Max smash as many records as possible. He's been an incredible talent to watch grow. And then in the future I'd like to someone else smash them again. It's really difficult to achieve what these great drivers & teams do.
I agree it's amazing to see, but at the same time some of these records are so high now that the only way to beat them is to have a full season or even a 5-year run of complete dominance. I would like some years where anyone can win
I never wanted to see anyone setting or breaking these records because let’s be honest it doesn’t make for the greatest races and seasons from an entertainment perspective. That being said, at the same time I am astonished by what this car and driver combination is able to achieve every weekend which is good entertainment if you know how to appreciate it…and it will be awesome memories to know we witnessed greatness in a few years’ time
I am dutch... i am not a max fan ( kinda) i am a true f1 lover for years and years. But what he is doing is just mental. Its the car and its max him self. Same as with hamilton and host merc. Its always a combination of both but what he is doing again.... its mental
Weird how they don't count Spa as a pole lap. Did they also do this in the past in F1? Or did they not have grid drop penalties back then? Like how can you beat Senna's record nowadays if you likely have to take an engine penalty every 7 races? Ig at the start of the season is the only chance you'll have as you can replace a part multiple times before getting a penalty
A pole is defined as "Starting in the first grid position", however you happen to get there. It has always been like this but component penalties are a recent thing
This video has made me realize how crazy Red Bull's performance is this season. It's absolutely crazy that we're likely witnessing one of if not the most dominant season by one constructor in F1 history
Ya reckon? Okay, let's put Max in Danny Ric's Alpha Tauri & then see how he goes.. Or give the rest of the field the same car and see how they do. We've already seen that given the right car Lewis can dominate as much as Max - even with stiffer competition notably Rosberg & Vettel - & remember when Vettel dominated F1 for 4 seasons in a car probly not quite as good as this years RBR & with a tougher teamate? @@Triggernlfrl
Dominant in success but they are only a few tenths quicker at most. The Mercedes era saw them consistently 1 second faster for years. Even so, Max still won races in that period with plenty of incredible podiums.
Max can beat LH's record of most consecutive points scored: 998. Max is currently on 793.* Edit: Max can also beat LH's record of 18 consecutive GP where he has at least 1 lap in the lead. Max is currently on 12.* * updated after the Italian GP.
@connortheandroidsentbycybe7740 768 is including Zandvoort. But like you said, 3 more sprint races, and 9 more fastest lap point could see him do it this year.
One thing I have to add about the Podium Record; in terms of Main Grands Prix, Verstappen hasn't finished lower than P2 *all season.* Schumacher had one P3 in Malaysia. If Max maintains this P2 or better streak for the rest of the season, he can beat Schumacher's podium record on a technicality with no P3's. Heck, even if he gets a single P3 in a Grand Prix this year he'll *still* beat Michael by that technicality with a 95.45% top 2 rate vs Schumacher's 94.12%.

@@zordiark9673 what a bunch of nonsense. Ferrari was almost lapping the entire top 6 so they turned the engines down. Schumi's engine never failed so there is no debate.
Out of the 15 records you talked about in this video, 7 have a high likelihood of being beaten, 2 are impossible, 3 are medium likelihood, 2 are low likelihood and 1. If Max beats at least 5 of the records which is very likely tbh then he will have undoubtedly the best prime in F1 by a big margin plus if you exclude the impossible records, the record for most wins without the WDC, and the #3 career wins before the end of 2023 (which is at really a record cuz it’s impossible for Max to get it before he turns 26) then that means 7/11 of the most well known and insane records in the history of F1 have a high likelihood of Max beating them in the same season. Plus I think you need to point out that Schumacher’s record was helped by the old points system.
In theory it's easier to become WDC with 7+ races left now there's more races in a season. But then again, 3 DNFs doesn't put you out of contention now like it used to with less races. Basically, the 2002 season is a complete outlier with a clear favourite car but a 2nd driver with awful luck/reliability. Going to take a while until that happens again.
@@MrVsGarage oh yeah most records nowadays are skewed in favor of recent drivers and seasons because of more races per season so it’s more representative to use percentages cuz of reliability and points systems changing

No matter what records Max will break this year, one thing is clear and that is we are seeing history in the making. Only once in a generation you will see man and machine equally impressive joined to form a team. Max and the RB19 will go down into history as the best possible combination in the history of the sport. You can hate or love Max and/or RB but we can call ourselves lucky as F1 fans to witness this Conjunction.
The only thing that will stop Max is a car related issue or someone running into him. This man is a machine, he has yet to make any mistakes (that will impact his race).
The man just makes no mistakes.. it is incredible to live in a time such as this and witness such a dominant force take over the grid. His only notable mistake was Australia where he spun out in practice. Compare that to Checo who’s spun out just about every weekend in FP or Quali this year, and still has yet to match Max’s pace save for Baku. It is truly spectacular and while yes, no title fight being a bit boring in some ways, watching Max push the envelope in the pursuit of absolute perfection has been a joy to watch. Can’t wait to see the results at the end of the season.
In terms of dominance it is a great season so far. It is a great season for those who enjoy the deeper aspects of F1, the technical engineering, the pressure, the unpredictability etc. Zandvoort was a great example of how Max and RB handled the unpredictability with such control. Even if Max staying out after the first lap turned out te be a mistake, his mighty, dominant race pace and overtaking skills in the following laps were truly mighty. Besides all this, I just love how Max is not only the best driver this year, but also the top constructor 😂
Record for records "claimed": simple Record for records "broken", assuming you can break one record multiple times: ooops, accidental infinity Let's say Max needs x number of records to break this record, well then as soon as he breaks the record he will have a new record, meaning his tally of record breaks is now x+1, breaking the record again. As this is a new instance of a record break, his tally is now (x+1)+1, a new record, causing another break and now his tally is up to (x+1)+1)+1....
@@MrVsGaragebut if it’s his own record he broke on the same season then you don’t have to count as a new record because he already broke it on the same season.
watching from the mad max days, being so consistent from 2020 and always driving 200% of his car- I hope he breaks each and every record (except for the wins without wdc- that is just😭)
@@bubblewrapvillain No! really!?... Besides the fact that He points out the Dutch GP is next on the calendar it clearly says "uploaded 4 days ago". I was just reiteraring the fact that Max is now tied with Vettel as a way to illustrate the point I made in the latter part of my comment. Next time I'll use stupid emojis to convey the context a little better like I do for my 10 year old nephew.
You just reenergized this season for me. Thank you. It gives me purpose to enjoy these wins. I’m a huge Max supporter and it’s just become all the same to me recently but this makes me happy that we could see history unfold
@@MrVsGarage that is such a great point. I always tell people who are new to F1/thinking about getting into it. you cant just watch 1 race. you need the whole story
We're now 2 months later and it's insane how much things have changed. Verstappen indeed has taken the record for most consecutive wins, but is now also 226 points ahead, with 4 to go and has already broken record for most points record, most laps led and equaled most wins in a season. Further, he's 2 fastest laps and 1 podium off equalling those records. Oh and he won the WDC 6 races from the end (after taking 7 points in the Qatar sprint). What a mighty season he's had.
Want to know something even crazier. as soon as Checo DNF'd the sprint race. Max no longer needed any points at all. That is because if you were to remove 1 of the sprint weekends as I did in my original calculations. He would have been Champion in Suzuka, haha.
The RB19 is probably the most consistent car in F1 history, but I still think that w11 is probably the most dominant car performance wise. Consider that the car Merc was fielding in '21 was still technically 2 seconds faster than THIS RB. That's insane. Yes, regs changed and such but that doesn't detract from how utterly insane that Merc was. It actually makes Max challenging it all year in an inferior car all the more impressive. He had no business dragging that RB to the title over that Merc, but he over performed the car and was rewarded for it.
Completely agree, W11 definitely seemed like the strongest car overall. And I think you may be mixing your seasons, W11 was 2020 where Lewis just cleaned up - like max is doing now.
A month late to the party, but the craziest thing to me is that he can still win the WCC on his own, and is in fact very likely to do so. He is currently 122 points ahead of Mercedes with only four races left. Has there ever been a driver who did this?
As a Dutchman, you can imagine how happy I am that Marko did not give his seat to another one, yet. And as a Dutchman, I have no words for what's happening now. Dutch Formula One records are all vaporized, but we're used to drivers like Nyck. Who did well in Monza btw...
Well, he's got 10 in a row now, and I think he'll easily beat his record of 15 wins. I genuinely think Red Bull can get the clean sweep and break McLaren's other 1988 record for win percentage in a season. I hope they don't, I hope that someone beats Red Bull at least once, but frankly, what we're seeing right now from Verstappen is amazing to witness, whether you're a fan of him or not. I'm pretty sure most of the records mentioned in the video will be broken.
Fernando Alonso is 42.............Max is 25 !!!!! If he stays in F1 as long as Alonso, he`ll have almost every record there is. When Lewis Hamilton was 25, he had 1 Championship, 14 wins, and 18 Pole Positions. Max........at the same age will have.......3 Championships, over 50 wins, and 28 Pole Positions..........so do " The Math "....................Max WILL be " The Goat "................I don`t doubt that for a second................👍
@@bonelesswatermelon420”Safety car in this lap, Verstappen will control the pace until the safety car is in. Oh no! Maylander, while driving to the pitlane, has flown into the barriers of the parabolica! This is unprecedented!”
I'm a big Max fan and he is truly extraordinary, but the whole RB team have been delivering top performances this season. For me that has been a joy to watch too. It seems to me that RB have put their frustration to good use during the Mercedes domination, by perfecting every little bit they could to make up for their slower engine back then. It all pays off now, especially with Max, who has been practically faultless himself too. Great video. Hope he gets a few more records this year. ;-)
All the people always commenting on whatever Max related post on social media that he is just lucky, its just the car blabla. The amount of records he is already holding at his age plus the records he is probably gonna brake this season considering your theory will make it just undeniable that he is one of the greatest, along there with Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton
That's for Wikipedia-Toto wolf. Why just can't they appreciate while history is made.They are still 2nd in constructors and it's not like they haven't won trophies in years.
Good point, I should have mentioned it. Max could break this record in Singapore (and likely will). He has also led 79% of all laps so far, if he carries on at that rate it will be a new record too (current record 71.5% - Clark '63)
Ive never understood how people always hate dominance. F1 is literally the sport where dominance is what every constructor thrives for. Theres plenty more race series with identical cars/motors/body where dominance isnt so big, but F1 is made for dominance
I look at it this way: Formula 1 drivers are generally agreed upon to be the best drivers in the world, and because the teams, the technology and the rules change every season, you basically have to think of each season in isolation to the others. You're right, you'll never know who is truly the best of all time because there are so many variables. But you can look, generally, at who was actually the best in each given year. This is, to me, what makes every championship, every race win, every stint, every lap and every pit stop actually matter to me. They're special once they're sealed in the books of history.
"...and then goes on to upset a lot of Ferrari fans when he breaks the rack board with 10 in Monza." Bro, Ferrari fans are already dead inside. I wouldn't be surprised if Ferrari gets all the boo-ing this year.
30 years into the future: Max Verstappen won every race since the 2023 season and still counting. A old face makes a appearance as a rookie: 71 year old Fernando Alonso is celebrating his 4th comeback to replace some random ass driver who absolutely smashed Lance Strolls son Liam Stroll but wasn’t so well liked by the community. Meanwhile the psychiatric doctors see not a single bit of hope for the former Ferrari driver Chuck Leclerc who recently needed to start without a car because the forgot to build one. Good thing he catched that one fucker who tried to steal the watch of Carlos Sainz Jr. Jr. the son of the not so smooth anymore operator Carlos Sainz Jr. and grandson of Carlos Sainz Sr. Hamiltons backwards receding hairline built up even more making him basically blind by all that hair that starts to grow in his face. George Russell still wears ankle socks and drinks nice latte where any milk is fine - But he isn’t.
You forgot the metaversion of these statistics: The driver in the history of F1 with the most records. And the driver that breaks the most records in one season.
It would be incredible to see Max break and set so many records. Best of luck to him! Also love how you made this video with the editing and stuff edit: this is aging well :)
I'm not really loyal to any particular team, but honestly I just want to see RB dominate the rest of the season. Regardless of what everyone else in the F1 community is saying, I think it's really fun to see all these records being broken and witnessing a truly historical season. For a lot of the records you listed, there have been plenty of people that have said they'll never be broken again, and here we are with a team and driver who definitely can.
The Ascari records from 1952 stood for 71 years and since the 3rd season of F1. Seeing it broken now is kinda weird, like Max makes it seem like he broke it with ease, but it's crazy how nobody broke it in that 71 years. And with 2 races left he's broken it, and he could take it further. And who knows what could happen next year... The 2 races Checo won could've very easily be won by Max. He finished P2 and correct me if I'm wrong but I think one of them he had a car failure during qualifying starting in p15 and still finishing p2. And then I believe the other one Checo won because Max pitted just before the safety car, and Perez pitting during it. It's not unreasonable to think that Max could've gone for a 15 win streak up to Singapore. It wasn't like he made mistakes or had a bad race. And well Singapore, that was just not his to win. He would've needed some extreme luck to win in Singapore after that qualifying, but with the strategy and his race pace, had he gotten through to Q3 and started maybe p6, who knows... But aside from Singapore, it wasn't really his fault that he lost those 2 races, which goes to show how many things can just go wrong for you to lose a race and makes his consistency at winning all the more impressive. It's also not that weird for people to think Ascari's record would never be broken, it stood for so long and it seemed unlikely anyone could do it. But honestly if Max keeps this up next year, we could see him break Ascari's record 2 years in a row, and maybe even break his own record of win %... He's also on another win streak of 5 right now, and it's pretty likely for him to get to 7 by the end of the year, so he could be challenging his own record of 10 in a row next year as well... Just insane stats, I also love seeing records being broken btw. It's really the only reason I got into F1 now. I'm a stats person, it's just fun to see all these records being shattered.
I watch quite some F1 content by different creators, but this is one of the few videos I've watched in its entirety, without putting the playback speed up, paying attention the whole time (except when typing this comment). Super enjoyable, new subscriber right here. Keep it up!
Thank you, that means a lot. I'm always working to make the quality of these videos as high as I can so that it's worth peoples time just like this! :)
I will root against red bull at every turn but if they get to 21/22 I'll cheer for them because the chance of this ever happening again is just so slim
As crazy a race as it was...Zandvoort delivered Max's 9th in a row. He is just an incredible talent to watch. I've been watching since 98' and I've never seen a more impressive all round driver. This is the first video I've seen on your channel so you've earned a new sub. I would love to see some comparisons with the old points system implemented because it's one of a couple things I want changed in the sport. My ideal points system would be 20 for 1st and 1 for 20th.
I dont think we're at the point that we should be creating a distribution like that, since points distribution have always been based on how reliable the cars are and only really RedBull would fit that standard (And maybe Aston Martin, that thing is made of steel), so we'd have to compromise to points to around 15th. Would still be cool tho, it punishes mistakes immensly compared to consistency, not that Max would struggle with that.
I was bored and created the stats for this season if the points were distributed from 20-1, counting Sprint races half Ver 303 Per 252 Alo 242.5 (Alo ahead because more second places) Ham 242.5 Sai 210 Rus 194.5 (+1) Lec 182.5 (-1) Str 165 (+1) Nor 161 (-1) Gas 146.5 Pia 140 (+1) Oco 138.5 (-1) Alb 129.5 Tsu 111.5 (+3) Bot 107 Hul 106.5 (-2) Mag 90 Dev 60 (+1) (yes, really) Sar 58.5 (-1) Ric 18.5 Law 8 Notably you see, Tsunoda jumping up a lot because of his consistant run of like 11th and 10th places at the beginning of the season
@@paraneutral see how much closer everything is and how many stories emerge throughout the grid? It would be so much better! Now we just need to get rid of blue flags and F1 would be perfect.
The@@JXLY7 The thing is, catching up is a lot less likely, you almost purely rely on the other one making mistakes, as even if you beat the other one to first and he's second, you only gain 1 point on them as opposed to 7. So while they may look to be a lot closer, they really aren't all that close. (Also, it rewards stand-out performances less. I'd actually prefer points from like 50-1, so everyone still gets points but not linearly)
Max can have the rest of this whole year just for the sake of it. But next season would be better if there is more competition. But that is not max is fault. The rest should get a lot better then this year.
He definitely can win them all but I think he will have some bad luck lol so probably won’t win them all maybe one race Russel decides that he’s the new kvyatt again and torpedoes his side pod again lol
I'm a McLaren fan, but I want to see Max dominate. I've been watching since 1989 and to be honest, I want to see history. He's clearly overdriving the RB19, given how shit Checo has been. So he's doing it mostly on his own. Hopefully things get closer next year. But I'm fine with watching history.
For context this, with the amount of races and such a dominant car/driver. Many of the records are gonna be destroyed. But doesn't change the fact that Max is killing it. Perez is not even making it a challenge now.
Well he managed to break the first record. Winning a World drivers title by not winning, but by being gifted the title! Such a shame as he will never be a GOAT, as he probably deserves to be. But will always be remembered as the driver who was gifted his first title by cheats within the FIA and F1! Such a shame!
Max's probably gonna have 17 wins this season - qualifying on pole is not a guarantee on all of the remaining tracks, and so there might still be a chance for others to win on that occasion
As a F1 fan from way back since the 90's, I am hoping to see MAX winning every race that's left, we all know it's hard, but if there's a driver that can do it, it's him, I don't care if some other people complain about it being boring and whatnot, but this is what peak performance looks like. Best machinery and driver pairing, this does not happen very often, it is almost magic. Also, I always find very weird that in other sports some athletes and teams have gone on long winning streaks, and people root for them to continue, however, when it happens in F1, nope, suddenly it's "annoying" or "boring" to some people.
I think that in other sports each win in the streak can still feel like a competition, starting 0-0 and either side could win. In F1 if a dominant driver starts at the front and then just drives away it was like there was never a competition at all. I agree though, I'd like to see Max win as many as possible now and write history, it's amaing to witness when you consider how hard the other teams are pushing and how much talent is trying - and failing - to catch Max
Max has gone from a chaotic clown in 2016 to a near-flawless amazingly complete driver in 2022-2023. *The single most-improved F1 driver ever (within the F1 career).*
I wouldn't say he was that chaotic in 2016. Wasn't 2018 the dodgy year in which he had incidents in each of the first 6 races? That's when people really start to question him.
@goodhorsehymn Don't forget he had no winning car and had to force wins. Now you see the same with Hamilton...He is crashing more and more, because he can't control the race...he has to force his luck. And Checco is trying do his best to win races, but failed hard because he is taken to much risk.
So many of these "records" are pointless. A long time ago they raced 12 races a year, Schumacher raced 16. Not 23-24. Points? A win was 10 points, so winning all 16 races would only be 160 points. Percentages are the only honest way to compare drivers/seasons from different eras.
It's not pointless, because it will be set for future F1 seasons. Senna drove in 12 races seasons. Schumacher had 16 to 17. That was already more. In that case all records are pointless. To me if Red Bull wins 22 out of 23 races, is more impressive then the McLaren winning 11 out of 12, because of the more races.
As a F1 fan, I wanna see Max smash as many records as possible. He's been an incredible talent to watch grow. And then in the future I'd like to someone else smash them again. It's really difficult to achieve what these great drivers & teams do.
I agree it's amazing to see, but at the same time some of these records are so high now that the only way to beat them is to have a full season or even a 5-year run of complete dominance. I would like some years where anyone can win

It is a great season for those who enjoy the deeper aspects of F1, the technical engineering, the pressure, the unpredictability etc. Zandvoort was a great example of how Max and RB handled the unpredictability with such control. Even if Max staying out after the first lap turned out te be a mistake, his mighty, dominant race pace and overtaking skills in the following laps were truly mighty.
Besides all this, I just love how Max is not only the best driver this year, but also the top constructor 😂
Can't wait for Tsunoda's grandchild to beat these records
Would love to see a follow-up to this video now the season is over!
Finally you're uploading somewhat regularly again
Doing what I can! Life has calmed down a bit at the moment though 👌
You missed the most records broken in a single season record.
Record for records "claimed": simple
Record for records "broken", assuming you can break one record multiple times: ooops, accidental infinity
Let's say Max needs x number of records to break this record, well then as soon as he breaks the record he will have a new record, meaning his tally of record breaks is now x+1, breaking the record again. As this is a new instance of a record break, his tally is now (x+1)+1, a new record, causing another break and now his tally is up to (x+1)+1)+1....
@@MrVsGaragebut if it’s his own record he broke on the same season then you don’t have to count as a new record because he already broke it on the same season.
watching from the mad max days, being so consistent from 2020 and always driving 200% of his car- I hope he breaks each and every record (except for the wins without wdc- that is just😭)
he can't break every record
We need an update to this video
he's now in third place regarding to number of race wins :)
Ok so he's matched Vettel's 9 consecutive wins now.... I just don't see how you can be an F1 fan & not be in awe of his abilities.
The video came out before the race happened. Took a second to check, much less time than it took you to write your comment.
@@bubblewrapvillain No! really!?... Besides the fact that He points out the Dutch GP is next on the calendar it clearly says "uploaded 4 days ago".
I was just reiteraring the fact that Max is now tied with Vettel as a way to illustrate the point I made in the latter part of my comment.
Next time I'll use stupid emojis to convey the context a little better like I do for my 10 year old nephew.

Who is watching this after Italian grand Prix
You just reenergized this season for me. Thank you. It gives me purpose to enjoy these wins. I’m a huge Max supporter and it’s just become all the same to me recently but this makes me happy that we could see history unfold
I love that F1 is so much more than who wins each weekend. Finding the storylines like this makes it so interesting for me!
@@MrVsGarage that is such a great point. I always tell people who are new to F1/thinking about getting into it. you cant just watch 1 race. you need the whole story
We're now 2 months later and it's insane how much things have changed. Verstappen indeed has taken the record for most consecutive wins, but is now also 226 points ahead, with 4 to go and has already broken record for most points record, most laps led and equaled most wins in a season. Further, he's 2 fastest laps and 1 podium off equalling those records. Oh and he won the WDC 6 races from the end (after taking 7 points in the Qatar sprint). What a mighty season he's had.
Want to know something even crazier. as soon as Checo DNF'd the sprint race. Max no longer needed any points at all. That is because if you were to remove 1 of the sprint weekends as I did in my original calculations. He would have been Champion in Suzuka, haha.
As a dutch guy and fanboy of Max.. I like to see Max set all records, but i also want to see other teams to take over.
Laat hem dit jaar maar lekker alle records pakken, en hopen dat hij volgend jaar weer een beetje competitie heeft.
The RB19 is probably the most consistent car in F1 history, but I still think that w11 is probably the most dominant car performance wise. Consider that the car Merc was fielding in '21 was still technically 2 seconds faster than THIS RB. That's insane. Yes, regs changed and such but that doesn't detract from how utterly insane that Merc was. It actually makes Max challenging it all year in an inferior car all the more impressive. He had no business dragging that RB to the title over that Merc, but he over performed the car and was rewarded for it.
Completely agree, W11 definitely seemed like the strongest car overall. And I think you may be mixing your seasons, W11 was 2020 where Lewis just cleaned up - like max is doing now.
16-9-2023 pffff thanks Max 😮
A month late to the party, but the craziest thing to me is that he can still win the WCC on his own, and is in fact very likely to do so. He is currently 122 points ahead of Mercedes with only four races left. Has there ever been a driver who did this?
He’s just done it
No and I have watched F1 since 1984!!!
Absolutely love these videos! As a max fan you can imagine how great this season has been for me
As a Dutchman, you can imagine how happy I am that Marko did not give his seat to another one, yet.
And as a Dutchman, I have no words for what's happening now. Dutch Formula One records are all vaporized, but we're used to drivers like Nyck. Who did well in Monza btw...
I have to say this dominanz is kinda boring as it always was, but still fine for me to see RB winning as fellow austrian lul
Well, he's got 10 in a row now, and I think he'll easily beat his record of 15 wins. I genuinely think Red Bull can get the clean sweep and break McLaren's other 1988 record for win percentage in a season. I hope they don't, I hope that someone beats Red Bull at least once, but frankly, what we're seeing right now from Verstappen is amazing to witness, whether you're a fan of him or not. I'm pretty sure most of the records mentioned in the video will be broken.
Fernando Alonso is 42.............Max is 25 !!!!! If he stays in F1 as long as Alonso, he`ll have almost every record there is. When Lewis Hamilton was 25, he had 1 Championship, 14 wins, and 18 Pole Positions. Max........at the same age will have.......3 Championships, over 50 wins, and 28 Pole Positions..........so do " The Math "....................Max WILL be " The Goat "................I don`t doubt that for a second................👍
Imagine the scenes if a Williams win at Monza derails Max's win streak and Red Bull's 100% season win record.
Won't happen, but a man can dream.
Stranger things have happened around the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza
@@MrVsGarageI just remembered that the Monza curse is a thing.
Either Max or Bernd Maylander will DNF this year.
well, seeing Albon's quali performance today it might not even be that wild of an idea
Bro leaked the script
@@bonelesswatermelon420”Safety car in this lap, Verstappen will control the pace until the safety car is in. Oh no! Maylander, while driving to the pitlane, has flown into the barriers of the parabolica! This is unprecedented!”
I'm a big Max fan and he is truly extraordinary, but the whole RB team have been delivering top performances this season. For me that has been a joy to watch too. It seems to me that RB have put their frustration to good use during the Mercedes domination, by perfecting every little bit they could to make up for their slower engine back then. It all pays off now, especially with Max, who has been practically faultless himself too.
Great video. Hope he gets a few more records this year. ;-)
Absolutely, this RB team is definitely one of if not THE most effective whole team unit that F1 has ever seen
Stoked to see another MrV video. You're super underrated.
Just feels nice to be rated at all 🥹
a follow up video please
you have replaced chainbear f1 because he quit. thank you for sharing your math
All the people always commenting on whatever Max related post on social media that he is just lucky, its just the car blabla.
The amount of records he is already holding at his age plus the records he is probably gonna brake this season considering your theory will make it just undeniable that he is one of the greatest, along there with Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton
That's for Wikipedia-Toto wolf. Why just can't they appreciate while history is made.They are still 2nd in constructors and it's not like they haven't won trophies in years.
But Mr V, them records are for wikipedia and nobody reads them anyways😉
Redbull
top strat
top driver
top car
top reliability
top pitcrew
Theyre all on top of their game
you forgot about laps lead in a year, possible to break that one as well(percentage wise & laps wise)
Good point, I should have mentioned it. Max could break this record in Singapore (and likely will). He has also led 79% of all laps so far, if he carries on at that rate it will be a new record too (current record 71.5% - Clark '63)
Please do an updated vid, as 2 race weekends have passed, and more records have been broken. Thanks.
So fortunate to see the absolute goat in any motorsport developing...he will transcent the sport as only one and joins jordan, ali, federer etc
Ive never understood how people always hate dominance. F1 is literally the sport where dominance is what every constructor thrives for. Theres plenty more race series with identical cars/motors/body where dominance isnt so big, but F1 is made for dominance
I look at it this way: Formula 1 drivers are generally agreed upon to be the best drivers in the world, and because the teams, the technology and the rules change every season, you basically have to think of each season in isolation to the others. You're right, you'll never know who is truly the best of all time because there are so many variables. But you can look, generally, at who was actually the best in each given year. This is, to me, what makes every championship, every race win, every stint, every lap and every pit stop actually matter to me. They're special once they're sealed in the books of history.
"...and then goes on to upset a lot of Ferrari fans when he breaks the rack board with 10 in Monza."
Bro, Ferrari fans are already dead inside. I wouldn't be surprised if Ferrari gets all the boo-ing this year.
30 years into the future:
Max Verstappen won every race since the 2023 season and still counting. A old face makes a appearance as a rookie: 71 year old Fernando Alonso is celebrating his 4th comeback to replace some random ass driver who absolutely smashed Lance Strolls son Liam Stroll but wasn’t so well liked by the community.
Meanwhile the psychiatric doctors see not a single bit of hope for the former Ferrari driver Chuck Leclerc who recently needed to start without a car because the forgot to build one.
Good thing he catched that one fucker who tried to steal the watch of Carlos Sainz Jr. Jr. the son of the not so smooth anymore operator Carlos Sainz Jr. and grandson of Carlos Sainz Sr.
Hamiltons backwards receding hairline built up even more making him basically blind by all that hair that starts to grow in his face.
George Russell still wears ankle socks and drinks nice latte where any milk is fine - But he isn’t.
Liam Stroll’s mom is Lance Stroll’s SISTER 😂
3:30 we shall see pole for sainz lesssssss gooooooooooooooooo
You forgot the metaversion of these statistics: The driver in the history of F1 with the most records. And the driver that breaks the most records in one season.
I just came across this guys channel. Super content❤
thank you!!
It would be incredible to see Max break and set so many records. Best of luck to him! Also love how you made this video with the editing and stuff
edit: this is aging well :)
Just from watching the Ferrari upset. The record is broken...10! More likely to come
I'm not really loyal to any particular team, but honestly I just want to see RB dominate the rest of the season. Regardless of what everyone else in the F1 community is saying, I think it's really fun to see all these records being broken and witnessing a truly historical season. For a lot of the records you listed, there have been plenty of people that have said they'll never be broken again, and here we are with a team and driver who definitely can.
The Ascari records from 1952 stood for 71 years and since the 3rd season of F1. Seeing it broken now is kinda weird, like Max makes it seem like he broke it with ease, but it's crazy how nobody broke it in that 71 years. And with 2 races left he's broken it, and he could take it further. And who knows what could happen next year... The 2 races Checo won could've very easily be won by Max. He finished P2 and correct me if I'm wrong but I think one of them he had a car failure during qualifying starting in p15 and still finishing p2. And then I believe the other one Checo won because Max pitted just before the safety car, and Perez pitting during it.
It's not unreasonable to think that Max could've gone for a 15 win streak up to Singapore. It wasn't like he made mistakes or had a bad race. And well Singapore, that was just not his to win. He would've needed some extreme luck to win in Singapore after that qualifying, but with the strategy and his race pace, had he gotten through to Q3 and started maybe p6, who knows...
But aside from Singapore, it wasn't really his fault that he lost those 2 races, which goes to show how many things can just go wrong for you to lose a race and makes his consistency at winning all the more impressive. It's also not that weird for people to think Ascari's record would never be broken, it stood for so long and it seemed unlikely anyone could do it. But honestly if Max keeps this up next year, we could see him break Ascari's record 2 years in a row, and maybe even break his own record of win %...
He's also on another win streak of 5 right now, and it's pretty likely for him to get to 7 by the end of the year, so he could be challenging his own record of 10 in a row next year as well... Just insane stats, I also love seeing records being broken btw. It's really the only reason I got into F1 now. I'm a stats person, it's just fun to see all these records being shattered.
I watch quite some F1 content by different creators, but this is one of the few videos I've watched in its entirety, without putting the playback speed up, paying attention the whole time (except when typing this comment). Super enjoyable, new subscriber right here. Keep it up!
Thank you, that means a lot. I'm always working to make the quality of these videos as high as I can so that it's worth peoples time just like this! :)
Im hoping for an updated version of this after the season ends :)
Viewing this a few months later and knowing some of these have already been broken by Max.
Surely, Max is one of the GOATS ever.
I don't like him but you're right
I will root against red bull at every turn but if they get to 21/22 I'll cheer for them because the chance of this ever happening again is just so slim
It’s crazy to me that we’re watching something that may never happen again and some f1 fans are calling it boring
DON'T SHOW TOTO WOLFF 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is the fear F1 fans had in 2015. Yes, Merc and Hamilton was dominating. However give max the car and he could become legendary.
Here we are.
Random comment to boost the algorithm. Keep watching the video.
As crazy a race as it was...Zandvoort delivered Max's 9th in a row. He is just an incredible talent to watch. I've been watching since 98' and I've never seen a more impressive all round driver.
This is the first video I've seen on your channel so you've earned a new sub. I would love to see some comparisons with the old points system implemented because it's one of a couple things I want changed in the sport. My ideal points system would be 20 for 1st and 1 for 20th.
I dont think we're at the point that we should be creating a distribution like that, since points distribution have always been based on how reliable the cars are and only really RedBull would fit that standard (And maybe Aston Martin, that thing is made of steel), so we'd have to compromise to points to around 15th. Would still be cool tho, it punishes mistakes immensly compared to consistency, not that Max would struggle with that.
I was bored and created the stats for this season if the points were distributed from 20-1, counting Sprint races half

@@paraneutral see how much closer everything is and how many stories emerge throughout the grid? It would be so much better! Now we just need to get rid of blue flags and F1 would be perfect.
The@@JXLY7 The thing is, catching up is a lot less likely, you almost purely rely on the other one making mistakes, as even if you beat the other one to first and he's second, you only gain 1 point on them as opposed to 7. So while they may look to be a lot closer, they really aren't all that close. (Also, it rewards stand-out performances less. I'd actually prefer points from like 50-1, so everyone still gets points but not linearly)
Toto Wolff disliked this video
max just did side-quests breaking records this season
You still haven't redesigned all the circuits!
I'll get there! Some of them don't need any work, lots of them are great as is

@@dmknoetze thanks:)
If reliability/SC timings respect Max, he'll beat most of these records
Max can have the rest of this whole year just for the sake of it. But next season would be better if there is more competition. But that is not max is fault. The rest should get a lot better then this year.
He definitely can win them all but I think he will have some bad luck lol so probably won’t win them all maybe one race Russel decides that he’s the new kvyatt again and torpedoes his side pod again lol
I'm a McLaren fan, but I want to see Max dominate. I've been watching since 1989 and to be honest, I want to see history.
He's clearly overdriving the RB19, given how shit Checo has been. So he's doing it mostly on his own.
Hopefully things get closer next year. But I'm fine with watching history.
We need to see more Norris on the podium so he can set a record for most broken 🏆 in a season 😅
man, sorry to say this but your name is already taken by a french humor youtuber
Well at least max can't beat the cucumber with finishing 24th
Amazing video, really emphasizes how Max is driving in another league. We're truly witnessing greatness. Also very deserved sub ;)
So many are trying to rain on Max's parade. The man just goes and finds grip elsewhere and still wins! 🏁
Yes he did!
Hé,ll go full. Respect for every f1 atleet ❤❤❤🎉
Well that certainly puts the season so far in proportion.
hi! Im from the future; max broke the record for #10
Singapore really ruined half of these records.
The consecutive wins record is done and dusted as of today
For context this, with the amount of races and such a dominant car/driver. Many of the records are gonna be destroyed.
But doesn't change the fact that Max is killing it. Perez is not even making it a challenge now.
Well he managed to break the first record. Winning a World drivers title by not winning, but by being gifted the title!
Such a shame as he will never be a GOAT, as he probably deserves to be. But will always be remembered as the driver who was gifted his first title by cheats within the FIA and F1! Such a shame!
Well that would mean Lewis has only 6 titels and massa is also a wc cause Lewis was gifted a championchip too.
I'm a HAM fan, however VER is smashing it and it is very exciting to watch. Just INSANE!!! Great video mate.
Max's probably gonna have 17 wins this season - qualifying on pole is not a guarantee on all of the remaining tracks, and so there might still be a chance for others to win on that occasion
15s timepenalty for Ocon on that one 13:10
Those voicecracks though 😁 good vid
This guy predicted the future
all of the drama and chaos in the best race of 2023 in zandvoort all for max to still win is beyond me
Zandvoort is race with most on track overtakes in a single race in history now.
your video is always nice and well made 👍
As a F1 fan from way back since the 90's, I am hoping to see MAX winning every race that's left, we all know it's hard, but if there's a driver that can do it, it's him, I don't care if some other people complain about it being boring and whatnot, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Best machinery and driver pairing, this does not happen very often, it is almost magic.
Also, I always find very weird that in other sports some athletes and teams have gone on long winning streaks, and people root for them to continue, however, when it happens in F1, nope, suddenly it's "annoying" or "boring" to some people.
I think that in other sports each win in the streak can still feel like a competition, starting 0-0 and either side could win. In F1 if a dominant driver starts at the front and then just drives away it was like there was never a competition at all.
I agree though, I'd like to see Max win as many as possible now and write history, it's amaing to witness when you consider how hard the other teams are pushing and how much talent is trying - and failing - to catch Max
you are the best, keep it up mate !
Thank you, I will!
@@MrVsGarage ❤
Put it this way, Max is 26. most drivers hang round till their late 30s. Even if he only averages 10 wins a season, he will pass 150 career wins.
If his car is not fastest anymore (which could be next season)
10 wins average is almost impossible.
@@AlbertZonneveld as long as he is under Newey, or Newey's successor, and as long as regulations remain aero based, he'll be fine.
hello clairvoyant LOL
Mr Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yeeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeee!
Im not sure how i stumbled onto this channel but i really appreciate your content. Im a big max fan from sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you! More to come soon
Max was so damn close to equaling Senna's record, I was almost celebrating and then Hamilton came to defend the Goat (for now)
Hamilton came to defend Maldonado?
sounds unlikely that Hamilton would help out Goatifi with anything after 2021.
i might be hardcore tifosi, but max is truly incredible. we're witnessing something amazing, and i hope he smashes the record books
Max has gone from a chaotic clown in 2016 to a near-flawless amazingly complete driver in 2022-2023. *The single most-improved F1 driver ever (within the F1 career).*
I wouldn't say he was that chaotic in 2016. Wasn't 2018 the dodgy year in which he had incidents in each of the first 6 races? That's when people really start to question him.
@goodhorsehymn Don't forget he had no winning car and had to force wins. Now you see the same with Hamilton...He is crashing more and more, because he can't control the race...he has to force his luck.
And Checco is trying do his best to win races, but failed hard because he is taken to much risk.
So many of these "records" are pointless. A long time ago they raced 12 races a year, Schumacher raced 16. Not 23-24. Points? A win was 10 points, so winning all 16 races would only be 160 points. Percentages are the only honest way to compare drivers/seasons from different eras.
It's not pointless, because it will be set for future F1 seasons.
Senna drove in 12 races seasons. Schumacher had 16 to 17. That was already more. In that case all records are pointless.
To me if Red Bull wins 22 out of 23 races, is more impressive then the McLaren winning 11 out of 12, because of the more races.
@pimjcb9964 all of those flat count records are pointless. Glad you see my point.
@pimjcb9964 if they both won the same percentage of races, then their achievements are equal.
