MAX VERSTAPPEN’S 2023 SEASON WASN’T NORMAL. IT WAS HISTORY.
19 Grand Prix wins.
10 consecutive victories.
21 podiums.
575 points.
A 290-point championship margin.
And a third Formula 1 World Championship secured with six Grands Prix still remaining.
In 2023, Max Verstappen transformed from a two-time World Champion into one of the most dominant drivers Formula 1 had ever seen.
The season didn’t even start perfectly.
Sergio Perez won two of the opening four Grands Prix and briefly looked like Max’s biggest championship rival.
Then Max Verstappen switched into another gear.
Miami.
Starting ninth, Max fought through the field and defeated his teammate.
Monaco.
Spain.
Canada.
Austria.
Britain.
Hungary.
Belgium.
Netherlands.
Italy.
Race after race, Max kept winning.
Then came Monza.
Carlos Sainz started on pole for Ferrari, but Max relentlessly hunted him down. When Sainz finally made a mistake, Max took the lead and won his 10th consecutive Grand Prix.
Ten wins in a row.
A new Formula 1 record.
But Singapore finally stopped Red Bull’s winning streak. Carlos Sainz took victory for Ferrari, giving fans a rare glimpse of Red Bull without the winning advantage.
Max responded immediately.
He won in Japan.
Then, at the Qatar Sprint, Max officially became a THREE-TIME Formula 1 World Champion.
And instead of slowing down…
he kept winning.
Austin.
Mexico.
Brazil.
Las Vegas.
Abu Dhabi.
By the end of the season, Max had won 19 of the 22 Grands Prix.
He became the first driver to lead more than 1,000 laps in a single season.
Red Bull won 21 of 22 races.
And Max finished the year with 575 points — the highest single-season total in F1 history under that points system.
This video tells the full story of the season when Max Verstappen became almost impossible to stop.
