Most Consecutive F1 Wins

Max Verstappen holds the Formula 1 record for the most consecutive wins, with 10 in a row during the 2023 season. He broke the previous record of 9, which had been shared by Sebastian Vettel in 2013 and Alberto Ascari across the 1952 and 1953 seasons.

A winning streak is among the most difficult records in the sport, because a single mechanical failure, crash or strategy misstep ends it instantly. That is why even the most dominant seasons rarely produce long runs, and why so few drivers have strung together more than a handful. Here is the full leaderboard of the longest winning streaks in F1 history, and the context behind them. All figures are as of the 2025 season.

The record holder: Max Verstappen and 10 straight

Verstappen’s 2023 campaign was one of the most dominant in F1 history, and at its heart was a run of 10 consecutive victories from the Miami Grand Prix through the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. Red Bull’s car was the class of the field, but the streak still demanded flawless execution across months of racing. Verstappen won 19 of 22 races that year on his way to a third world title.

His 10 straight surpassed the mark of 9 that had stood, in modern form, since Vettel’s 2013 run. Because Verstappen is active, the record could be extended, but streaks of this length are so rare that even he is unlikely to threaten it often.

The full leaderboard of consecutive F1 wins

The table below ranks the longest consecutive-win streaks in Formula 1 history. Active drivers are noted.

Rank	Wins in a row	Driver	Season(s)
1	10	Max Verstappen*	2023
2	9	Sebastian Vettel	2013
2	9	Alberto Ascari	1952-53
4	7	Michael Schumacher	2004
4	7	Nico Rosberg	2015-16
6	5	Nigel Mansell	1992
6	5	Jack Brabham	1960
6	5	Max Verstappen*	2022

*Max Verstappen is active; his 2022 streak of five preceded his record run in 2023.

The list is short by design: reaching even five consecutive wins places a driver among the sport’s most dominant, and only three drivers have ever managed nine or more.

Vettel, Ascari and the nine-win benchmark

For decades the number to beat was 9. Alberto Ascari set it across 1952 and 1953 during his Ferrari dominance, and Sebastian Vettel matched it by closing the 2013 season with nine straight victories in his fourth title-winning campaign. That shared record stood until Verstappen edged past it a decade later.

The seven-win streaks

Michael Schumacher’s run of 7 in 2004 came during a Ferrari season in which he won 13 of 18 races, while Nico Rosberg’s 7 straight across 2015 and 2016 set up his lone world title. Both illustrate how even championship-defining form usually tops out well short of ten.

Why the record matters

A long winning streak captures a rare alignment of car, driver and reliability, and Verstappen’s 10 in 2023 is the high-water mark. For related records, see our leaderboards of the most F1 podiums and the most F1 championships.

The short version: Max Verstappen holds the record for the most consecutive F1 wins with 10 in 2023, breaking the mark of 9 shared by Sebastian Vettel and Alberto Ascari. As of the 2025 season, it stands as one of the sport’s most striking modern records.
