Max Verstappen has led the F1 drivers’ championship for over 750 straight days and now has another Michael Schumacher-held record in his sights.
Max Verstappen is on track to break a long-standing Formula 1 record this November, currently held by Michael Schumacher, with over 750 days at the top of the standings. The 26-year-old claimed the 2022 drivers’ title lead after the Spanish Grand Prix in May, surpassing Charles Leclerc and maintaining his position since. Schumacher, on the other hand, set the record at 896 days from September 2000 to March 2003, during his Ferrari dominance. Verstappen would need to lead until November 2, 2024, to surpass Schumacher’s streak and claim another F1 milestone. Despite his current lead over Leclerc, Verstappen faces stiff competition from McLaren and Ferrari in the ongoing season.
