The records continue to tumble for Max Verstappen in F1 2023 – and the Dutchman is set to break a 71-year old record at this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
The current record for the highest win percentage in an F1 season is held by Alberto Ascari from 1952, with a 75% win record, having won six out of eight rounds. As of now in 2023, Max Verstappen has won 16 out of 19 races, giving him a win percentage of 84.24%. If Verstappen wins one of the final three rounds in Brazil, Las Vegas, or Abu Dhabi, he will surpass Ascari’s record. Winning 17 out of 22 races would give Verstappen a win percentage of 77.27% and eclipse Ascari’s record. If Verstappen wins all the remaining races, he would have 19 wins out of 22 rounds, resulting in an astonishing 86.36% win percentage. In recent decades, Michael Schumacher’s 2004 season saw him win 13 out of 18 races (72.22% win percentage), Sebastian Vettel won 13 out of 19 rounds in 2013 (68.42% win percentage), and Lewis Hamilton won 11 out of 17 races in 2020 (64.71% win percentage).
