The Record Book — Streaks & Runs
F1 Consecutive Records
A single great result is one thing — stringing them together, weekend after weekend, is the truest measure of dominance. These are Formula 1's consecutive records: the longest runs of wins, poles, podiums and points finishes, plus the most successive victories at a single Grand Prix. Max Verstappen's astonishing 10 wins in a row through 2023 reset the bar for the modern era.
Most Consecutive Race Wins
For decades, nine straight wins seemed the ceiling — first approached by Alberto Ascari in the 1950s, then matched by Sebastian Vettel at the end of 2013. Then Max Verstappen and the Red Bull RB19 won ten Grands Prix in a row across the summer of 2023, the longest single streak in the sport's history.
| # | Driver | Wins in a row | Span |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Max Verstappen | 10 | 2023 (Miami → Italy) |
| 2 | Sebastian Vettel | 9 | 2013 (Belgium → Brazil) |
| 3 | Max Verstappen | 9 | 2023–24 (Japan → Saudi Arabia) |
| 4 | Alberto Ascari | 7 | 1952–53 (Belgium → Argentina) |
| 5 | Michael Schumacher | 7 | 2004 (Europe → Hungary) |
| 6 | Nico Rosberg | 7 | 2015–16 (Mexico → Russia) |
| 7 | Michael Schumacher | 6 | 2000–01 (Italy → Malaysia) |
| 8 | Nigel Mansell | 5 | 1992 (South Africa → San Marino) |
Ascari's run is sometimes quoted as 9 if races he did not enter are excluded; modern record tables credit Verstappen's 10 as the outright record. Jack Brabham (1960) and Jim Clark (1965) also recorded five-win streaks.
Consecutive Wins at the Same Grand Prix
Owning a circuit is a record of its own. Ayrton Senna made Monaco his personal property between 1989 and 1993, and Lewis Hamilton did the same in Spain from 2017 to 2021 — both winning five times in a row at the same venue.
| # | Driver | Grand Prix | Wins | Years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ayrton Senna | Monaco | 5 | 1989–1993 |
| 2 | Lewis Hamilton | Spain | 5 | 2017–2021 |
| 3 | Michael Schumacher | Spain | 4 | 2001–2004 |
| 4 | Michael Schumacher | United States | 4 | 2003–2006 |
| 5 | Max Verstappen | Japan | 4 | 2022–2025 |
| 6 | Juan Manuel Fangio | Argentina | 4 | 1954–1957 |
Other four-in-a-row runs include Senna at Belgium (1988–91), Hamilton at Britain and the USA (both 2014–17) and Verstappen at Abu Dhabi (2020–23).
Consecutive Poles & Podiums
Ayrton Senna's one-lap genius produced eight poles in a row in 1988–89, a mark Max Verstappen finally equalled in 2023–24. The podium record, meanwhile, has belonged to Michael Schumacher's relentless 2001–02 Ferrari for over two decades — neither Hamilton nor Verstappen has matched its 19.

Consecutive Points & Front Rows
Reliability and consistency tell their own story. Lewis Hamilton finished in the points 48 races in a row between 2018 and 2020 — a streak ended only when he was forced to miss the 2020 Sakhir GP with COVID-19. Senna, meanwhile, started 24 successive races on the front row.
Most Consecutive Points Finishes
Modern top-10 scoring inflates recent streaks; Schumacher's 24 is the longest of the pre-2010 top-6/top-8 era.
Most Consecutive Front-Row Starts
A front-row start counts as qualifying first or second. Verstappen also holds the record for most consecutive laps led — 248 in 2023.
