Formula One enthusiasts have witnessed an outstanding display in the last two seasons. Max Verstappen has emerged victorious in 34 races during this time, which includes a remarkable achievement of bagging 19 wins in the 2023 season.
As the 2024 Formula One season begins, let's take a look back at the seasons when particular drivers won the most races in F1.
Max Verstappen has achieved a total of 19 victories in his Formula 1 career so far, with his latest win being in the year 2023.
In the previous year, Verstappen had an incredibly successful season in Formula One. He managed to win a total of 19 races, a feat that only a handful of drivers have achieved in the sport's 78-year history. It's worth mentioning that he was responsible for 86.4% of the victories in 2023, a record that will likely stand for a long time. Furthermore, he earned a staggering 575 points out of a total of 620, another record. The difference between Verstappen and the runner-up, Sergio Perez, was massive, totaling 290 points. At one point, he managed to win an incredible 10 races in a row. It's evident that Verstappen is in a league of his own at the moment, and everyone is excited to see if he can maintain his impressive record-breaking performance.
In 2022, Max Verstappen achieved 15 victories.
Verstappen shattered numerous records in 2023, most of which were his own from the previous year where he delivered some truly exceptional performances. He dominated the 2022 circuit by clinching victory in a staggering 15 races, with an incredible run of nine wins in the last 11 races. Verstappen scored a total of 454 points, breaking the previous F1 record held by Lewis Hamilton, who had scored 413 points in 2019. Though Verstappen's 68.2% win percentage was commendable, it paled in comparison to the dominant form he would showcase in the following year.
Sebastian Vettel achieved 13 victories in the year 2013.
Prior to Verstappen, Vettel held the distinction of having the most wins in a single season, consisting of nine victories in a row to finish the season. Vettel achieved a success rate of 68.4% in that season. Ultimately, he garnered a total of 397 points, which was 155 points higher than Fernando Alonso, who came in second. From 2010 until 2013, Vettel ranked first in points in Formula One. His peak season was in 2013. Nevertheless, the subsequent year he failed to win a race and clinched fifth place in terms of points.
In 2004, Michael Schumacher emerged victorious a total of 13 times.
In the year 2004, Schumacher emerged as a winner in 13 out of 18 races, which is an incredible achievement with a win percentage of 72.2. He made a remarkable start to the season by winning 12 of the first 13 races. With more than a third of the season left, he secured the championship title. The 148 points scored by him in that year's championship were 34 more than his closest competitor, Rubens Barrichello. Even after retiring in 2012, Schumaker's F1 records for championships and grand prix wins remained unbeaten.
