Max Verstappen’s 4 October victory at Sepang moved him past Alain Prost in Formula 1’s record for consecutive seasons with a Grand Prix win. Verstappen has now won in 11 straight seasons, from 2016 through 2026; Prost’s run lasted 10, from 1981 through 1990.

The streak began with Verstappen’s first Grand Prix victory, in Spain during his second season in F1. He has added at least one win in every season since.

Only Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton have longer runs: Schumacher’s lasted from 1992 through 2006, and Hamilton’s from 2007 through 2021. Each reached 15 consecutive seasons, four more than Verstappen’s current streak.
