Max Verstappen can break an all-time F1 record he currently holds with Fernando Alonso.
Max Verstappen has the opportunity to break an all-time F1 record in the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix if he wins the race. Despite qualifying fastest, he starts 11th due to a 10-place grid penalty for using a fifth internal combustion engine of the season. This strategic move by Red Bull has worked before at Spa, with Verstappen winning from 14th and sixth in previous races. Winning from 11th would allow him to surpass Fernando Alonso in most wins from different grid positions. Verstappen and Alonso currently share the top spot with nine wins from various starting positions, showcasing their racing prowess. Having seven wins from inside the top 10 and two from positions outside the first five rows, they stand out among other world champions in this regard.
