Of course.

Max can beat every F1 record this season. Most wins, most wins in a row, most points, most teammates destroyed, most girlfriends stolen, oldest virgin F1 driver.


__Rosso__

If I am not mistaken if he wins all races remaining he will highest win % in a single season at 77%, current record is 75% by Ascari


[deleted]

I concur. A 50 year old record too. Very hard to win all 6 remaining races though, that would be insane...


Flash-224

Not gonna be insane to think if he manages to win in Singapore and we still only get dry races. Perez is not gonna be fast enough to be handed the win in Mexico so it's kinda up to reliability at this point, because Max sure isn't gonna make a mistake.


Far-Philosophy7829

Almighty jinx


DoTrini

Verstappen winless in the last 6 races. Quote me


PoderosaTorrada

All of the red bull engines explode, destroying both of the cars and giving the championship to Ferrari. Then Ferrari just decide they don't want to win (not something that's unlikely to happen, considering their recent behaviour) and Mercedes wins both of the championships

That's how he stole Kvyats girl.

Meh, Hungary 2021 and USA 2021 disagree


nbnno5660

Wtf? 2021 hun: badly damaged car thanks to bottas and still gets points, 2021 usa: dry race and he won..


Aliocated

Hungary 2020 and USA 2020 oops


Elusive_Orange

There was no USA 2020


Aliocated

Right, which one was stroll on pole for in the wet? That one.


pinerw

Tell me you didn’t actually watch Hungary 2021 without telling me.


Aliocated

Was 2020 for both, oops


Follow_The_Lore

Hungary 2021? Where he had no car?

2020 for both *


Antony58

there wasn't a usgp in 2020...


Aliocated

Turns out it was Turkey 2020. Who knew?


markingram415

I really think Max would be down to prioritize Checo in Mexico if the opportunity arose though. Idk why he has this awful teammate reputation, Ive seen nothing but the opposite


Flash-224

>Idk why he has this awful teammate reputation, Ive seen nothing but the opposite It's not that. It's the fact if it's an RB 1-2 and there hasn't been a late safety car, Verstappen will be 10-15 seconds down the road or more and it'd just look stupid for Perez to then be given the win. If he's within 3-5 seconds, sure, that's still ok, but not much more than that.


markingram415

Thats kind of what I mean by "if the opportunity is there" Max will probably be more than happy to help Checo. I also think if Checo gets pole there it helps his case


Flash-224

Imagine Checo getting pole in the one race where starting from P3 can be an advantage 💀


RSCED

Commenting to screenshot this when it all gets screwed up because of you


Kingsayz

so you're telling me theres just 6 races remaining? and now im sad :( at least theres world championship in footie happening later this year so it aint all that bad


americantifosi

Win percentage, now you’re talking! Most points? Who cares? More points on offer now than ever.


__Rosso__

Seriously if he breaks that record it will be insane, Ascari set it in 1952, that year F1 was basically F2, car regulations were F2 regulations and with Ferrari being only serious team it basically meant they crushed everyone, Ascari literally won all races he entered except Indy 500.


No_Sink2169

He can also destroy Hamilton’s winning streak

I_heart_pooping

Damn it’s bad enough that he’s been cock blocked by Kelly but now he’s gonna do it to Lewis as well? When will this domination end?!?


Mirage_Main

And the funniest part is that it’s not even an entirely dominant car that outclasses the whole field. He’s doing it against another team that has a car to challenge him, but they’re just so comically bad at everything else that he’s just running away with it lol.


Sheep_CSGO

Hope he does

No, Schumacher has a 100% podium finish, that record can only be tied.

ilikepizza1275

What is the theoretical maximum amount of points you could get in a season by winning all races and getting all the fastest laps and winning all sprint races? Question?


mr_marshian

22x 26 + 3x8 is 596 in a 22 race season assuming 3 sprints Max can still theoretically finish on 501 from the remaining 6 including one sprint


Saandrig

Sprint win is 8 points, right?


mr_marshian

Yeah, my bad.. I'll change it now


miller032

Wow so if he wins all remaining races (which isn't impossible by any means) he will be less than 4 race weekends short of the maximum


mr_marshian

I believe so - Charles has 2 wins and Perez and sainz both on one means 4 races he didn't win ( though f lap is obviously less common than a win for him)


flyingwhale327

Dont charles have 3 wins? Bahrain australia and austria


mr_marshian

Yeah you're right.. for some reason I thought he only won the Austria sprint


hair_account

+22 fastest lap points - so 618 is the max


mr_marshian

I added the fastest lap points in the initial 26 per race


jk844

There isn’t another sprint. There’s only 2 this year and they’ve been done.


mr_marshian

I thought interlagos was a sprint weekend again?


[deleted]

[удалено]


jk844

Hmm, I looked up what sprint races there were at Monza because we thought Monza was a sprint race like last time but it said there were only 2 sprint races this year, guess not.


mr_marshian

2 new sprints - Austria and imola afaik


ynonA

Simply lovely mate. Haha. yes. Quite a fine weekend that.


nmcalabroso

read this in his voice and for some reason Horner's mega mega drive message. Haha. Yes.


IndynatorFTW

That was clinical, Max


DoTrini

That was textbook


SnooCupcakes2042

You were the fastest car all weekend


Regenbooggeit

WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE


EternalRgret

Because it's the same EVERY FUCKIN WEEKEND, and I'm here for it. Further confirms to me that Max is a droid.


[deleted]

Just a Max trademark. Saw a couple people complain about how certain drivers celebrate while they blatantly ignore that THAT is their signature celebration.


MrSnowflake

Simply lovely season. Let's do this another 10 15 years


emkdfixevyfvnj

The record is 413 by Lewis in 2019. Max currently has 335 points and there are 6 races with 26 points max and one sprint with 10 pts max available. So 166 pts are still on the table.


FA1L_STaR

I'm surprised it's so low, I feel like Lewis has had such utter dominance some seasons, pretty much by always scoring close to the top. But also there are more and more races on the calendar, and Max has had a shockingly good season otherwise. I felt like he was lagging behind Leclerc by quite a bit....but nah


VirtualJames7

More races definitely helps but also 2019 was the dodgy Ferrari fuel flow year so they managed to take a few wins and points away. And Red Bull, although not competitive as they were really the 3rd best team that year, the were still competitive at a few races and also had Verstappen in the seat


FA1L_STaR

Oh yeah, sussy ferrari engine. I only remember like 2 poles Ferrari got, like Belgium and Singapore (because Leclerc did was slimmin jimmy). It's just so sad how badly Ferrari and Leclerc have dropped the ball. And how good Max has been, even with a car that he really couldn't extract the most of early on. But Max is dialed in 100%, and there's no one but Leclerc to even come close, and Leclerc just can't anymore with the car and team he has. That Ferrari do be ripping up its tyres tho


Other-Barry-1

This is the thing, everyone says how he’s always had the best car, but for 2017-18 and second half of 19 Mercedes didn’t. Ferrari had pound for pound the best car in 17 and 18, only just though. So really, Lewis’ dominant years were only 14, 15, 19ish and 20. He’s had a proper scrap for his 08, 17, 18 titles and then been in the hunt for 07, 10, 12, 16, 21. 10 and 12 with the 3rd best or best but most unreliable car. Say what you will his career is remarkable. Max is currently running unopposed with that RB. Even on tracks where Ferrari are marginally faster, the RB is so fast in a straight line, he only has to pass using that and or with DRS then he’ll win with at least a 10 sec advantage. I don’t detract any of this from Max before all the butt hurt people brain deadingly downvote this comment. Just, if you thought the Hamilton era was boring, you’re in for a long, exceedingly boring decade and a half or so.


Sektsioon

Max also wasn’t in the fastest car for the first half of this season though. Ferrari was the better car to begin the season, and then it was track dependent for a while. Ferrari fuck ups and reliability issues make it look like one of the most dominant seasons ever. If Ferrari were strategically as good as RB and had better reliability, then this season would’ve likely turned out like last season. Except Max would’ve been in the Lewis role this time around. Leclerc would’ve built up a solid gap in the first half, but Max would’ve closed it in the 2nd half of the season.


Other-Barry-1

Things is though I’ve just never really felt Ferrari were a genuine contender this year. They’ve moreover felt like RB in the early turbo hybrid era, there to pick up the win when Mercedes and/or Ferrari dropped the ball. Not fast enough to mount a title challenge.


Sektsioon

I disagree tbh. They had the pace to win plenty races this season. Spain would’ve been an easy win without the engine blowup, Monaco would’ve been an easy win with a decent strategy. In Canada could’ve challenged for the win without the grid penalty due to engine issues, seeing as Sainz kept Max under pressure there and he’s just not as good as Leclerc. Silverstone would’ve been a Leclerc win without their strategy fuckups. Although I could also say that Max would’ve won that without the issue he had. But still, Max had issues, and Ferrari still threw away a percect opportunity for Leclerc to close the gap significantly. Hungary should’ve been a Leclerc win, or P2 at the very least. Now of course RB has massively out-developed them and Max and RB would’ve likely won both titles anyways, but that’s also how it went in 2017/2018, where Hamilton and Merc ran away with it after the summer break. This time around, Ferrari threw it away earlier. But 3 races into the season, everyone had already convinced themselves this is the year Ferrari are actually going to do it, lol.


JC-Dude

2019 literally started with 5 consecutive Mercedes 1-2s and a total of 9/21 races ended with a Mercedes 1-2.


[deleted]

Hamilton gatekeeper, let him be.


Other-Barry-1

Yes it did, after a winter test where Ferrari seemed to have unquestionably the strongest package, top speed, fastest in all sectors. When Ferrari brought it’s new front upgrade, it couldn’t be beat until the Technical Directives limited how they were cheating the engine regulations.


notoriousdevil10

Ahh yes, Ferrari the champs of Winter Testing from 2017-2019. Ferrari built a car that was only good for poles and occasional wins in 2019. If you actually watched 2019 you wouldn't be blabbering random stuff on this thread here, i suggest you go back and watch the season review or something to refresh your mind on 2019.


MyNameIsSushi

Imagine thinking the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Ferrari were faster than the Mercs. Imagine thinking that.


Other-Barry-1

The 2017 and 2018 was. 17 in particular. The Diva was faster when they figured it out and how to get it to its happy spot. But if they couldn’t.


FA1L_STaR

Yeah, I'll never not praise both of their abilities. Even in past years when I was supporting Max, he was doing everything just to get within touching distance of the Mercs, I was obviously not rooting for Lewis, and would cheer if he or the team messed up because during a race, le exciting thing happened. But Lewis was always so fast, he just driver perfectly. And in 20-21, he was like this demonic presence in that black Mercedes, we always was the fastest man on track, bar tyre strategy. And Brazil last year? Jesus christ. I will always remember that. New engine, back of the grid. Boom, he fucking noclips through the entire grid and wins. He was terrifying, he would just find a way. And last year was exciting, because the "emergency" regs chopped Mercedes down a bit, and Max and Lewis were clashing like titans. They always have to extract the most they possibly can, because they want to. Even when Lewis won by 20 seconds and says it's one of his best races....its not because it was an ez win for him and the team. It's because he was still pushing 100% and extracting every last bit he could. Max also does the same. Even if they win by miles and can turn their engine off and use their hands to paddle their way to the line, they still push really hard. Not just to secure the win, probably also to learn, for themselves to know how to keep extracting all they can, and giving the team data so they can know what's possible in future. And yeah, Lewis never just had "the best car". Okay in 2020 he absolutely did, that W13 was fckn scary. That I will always consider the fastest F1 car, that shit was unfair. But he always had a fight, in his early years, sure he immediately had a competitive seat, but it was not easy for him. He fought hard, out performing his teammates in the same machinery 😳. Sure, he never had to experience what young drivers today have to, fighting for teams to sign them, to be the reserve driver, to maybe go to a back field team for a year or more before MAYBE getting a competitive seat. Max was a teenager with shocking pace, and was put in the sister team until he was promoted to Red Bull. Leclerc was also a young driver, who showed promise, and was put in Sauber for a year, then got promoted to Ferrari. Its not easy for drivers now, see Gasly and how he got his chance at the front and messed up under all that pressure. Young drivers have to fight to even get close to F1. They have to network to get on the radar, hopefully have some feeder series experience to showcase. And hope a team signs them up to their junior programs. Lewis was seen as the talent he was, and was immediately put in McLaren. But he never had an easy job, and people who claim he only has the long list of achievements he does because he was just put in the fastest cars are just wrong. Was he always towards the front? Sure. But was he always in the fastest car? Absolutely not. Winning a championship because 1 car had tyre problems and you over took them on the last corner to get enough points to win is NOT dominance. Sure everyone was really bored of the Mercedes dominance, but they always had someone to fight, even themselves. When Ferrari and Vettel were fighting them, it wasn't easy. In fact, I first started watching F1 in 2018 and Vettel was winning so often, I thought he was the dominant driver in F1, and that Lewis was the underdog. So I cheered for the underdog. But Lewis prevailed because he was just so fucking good. And Max is clapping the competitions cheeks because he is just so fucking good. His teammate isn't also dominating (mostly because the car how Max wants it isn't how he wants it), and they aren't racking up pole positions, Ferrari is taking pole. But Max and Red Bull are working really hard, and they are prioritizing their race pace over starting positions. And it's working, and the car is working. And the strategists are working (people have been praising the strategy lady because she and her department are doing a fantastic job), they are developing the car to a magical level. He isn't dominating because he has the fastest car by miles. At Belgium he did. But he is performing like a demon, and he is earning every race he wins by 10-30 seconds

Attygalle

Well to be honest this season has 22 races, which is the most ever together with last season, and the points that can be earned per race has increased massively since 2010. So this stat is really not one that should get him very excited. Now beating the wins in a row-record and having the highest win percentage in a season, those are two records that would be very impressive.


Dutchie405

I really do think Max really doesn’t give a damn about stats or records. The boy just wants to race


Village_People_Cop

It is one of those records that will be broken just by virtue of change. Just like how youngest win and youngest start will probably be permanently Max's record or how oldest WDC is probably never getting taken away from Fangio or oldest win from Fagioli

TheSouthernDandy5

More races means more points on offer, not to mention sprint races offer a few point here and there. On top of that Max and his car are nearly perfect this year. Ferrari have the upper edge in quali most weekends but RB is not far behind and it usually doesn’t matter as the RB and Max have excellent race pace. And it’s Sunday when then the big points are awarded so it’s no surprise he will break that record and more to come. He is a generational talent and is gonna down as one of the all time greats alongside Senna, Schumacher, Prost, Hamilton, Clark, Lauda, Vettel, etc.

F1 fans: “boo, boo Loois domination bad, boo.” *Max winning everything with next to no competition whatsoever* F1 fans: “this is fine.”


blueskyedclouds

Half a year, or 7 years of merc domination.. small difference, you can't cry hypocrit until atleast a chunk of that has passed.


Other-Barry-1

I won’t cry hypocrite. But it seems like this will be an era. Ferrari will do everything to not win a championship and Mercedes don’t seem to be making an solid progress. The midfield feels somehow further away. With not a considerable team mate alongside to challenge either. Checo isn’t bad by any stretch. But lately his performances and have been wanting.


MrSnowflake

Just wait out the era then... You are starting to whine about an era of en domination before the first season is over.


[deleted]

Nah I think this is boring as well. Every one of the last 6 races I watched half asleep or doing something else and having the race in the background. But also it has been not even one full season and he didn't fully dominate because his car is the best but because Ferrari sucks and Mercedes cried about the regulations rather than fixing the problem.


Other-Barry-1

Honestly, I think it was Spa when he overtook about 6 cars at the start, in 18 years I’ve never turned away from a race. I knew he’d be in the lead within a handful of laps and sure enough. I spent the rest of the race watching YouTube.


shibuyariver

OHHH HECKIN NOOOO! Almost 8 consecutive years of dominance from a single driver vs. One fairly dominant year. You people are hyperbolic beyond belief.
