Consistency is a crucial element for F1 success – here are the longest finishing streaks in the history of the sport!
“Securing a spot at the finish line in Formula 1 poses its own set of challenges, whether that’s due to strong reliability, minimal errors, or trust in fellow competitors. The list of most consecutive race finishes in F1 history is dominated by drivers from the modern era, with Lewis Hamilton standing at the top with a record-breaking 48 consecutive finishes from Britain 2018 to Styria 2020 despite an unexpected end to his streak.
Oscar Piastri held a strong position with a 44-race finishing streak from Mexico 2023 to Italy 2025, but a rough patch in form during the final stages of the season, starting at the Dutch Grand Prix, led to an unfortunate end to his streak. Max Verstappen’s impressive 43-race streak from Emilia Romagna 2022 to Saudi Arabia 2024 was finally broken by a brake issue at the 2024 Australian Grand Prix, surprising many fans who had grown accustomed to his victories.
Daniel Ricciardo achieved 34 consecutive finishes from Styria 2020 to Mexico 2021, but his tough 2021 season at McLaren ended his streak in Brazil due to a loss of power. George Russell, currently on a 34-race finishing streak from Netherlands 2024 to Abu Dhabi 2025, had a strong 2025 season with Mercedes, clinching two wins and several podium finishes to secure a spot in the top five all-time list with a streak that is still ongoing.”
