ABU DHABI, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Red Bull's triple world champion Max Verstappen wrapped up Formula One's most dominant season with a record-extending 19th win in 22 races at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday.
The pole-to-flag victory, for the fourth year in a row under the Yas Marina floodlights, left the 26-year-old alone in third place in Formula One's all-time list of winners with a career 54.
Only seven times champions Lewis Hamilton (103) and Michael Schumacher (91) have won more.
Sergio Perez finished second on the road for Red Bull but a five second post-race penalty dropped the Mexican off the podium, behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Mercedes' George Russell.
Leclerc had let Perez through on the penultimate lap in a strategic calculation to help his team's bid for second place that ultimately came to nothing when the Mexican was unable to pull out a big enough gap.
Russell's podium finish meant Mercedes ended their first winless season since 2011 as best of the rest behind Red Bull, who scored a whopping 860 points to Mercedes' 409 and Ferrari's 406.
"It was an incredible season," said Verstappen, who also became the first driver to lead 1,000 racing laps in a single championship, scored a record 575 points and ended the year with a record win rate of 86.4%.
Along the way he racked up a record 10 wins in a row and 21 podium finishes, with Red Bull winning all but one of the races.
"It was a bit emotional on the in-lap, it was the last time I was sitting in the car which has of course given me a lot," he said after taking the chequered flag 17.9 seconds ahead of Leclerc.
"It will be hard to do something similar again but we definitely enjoyed this year."

MCLAREN FOURTH

McLaren secured fourth overall, 22 points clear of Aston Martin, with Lando Norris fifth and Australian team mate Oscar Piastri sixth in the best season by a rookie driver since Hamilton in 2007.
Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso finished seventh, winning a close battle with Leclerc, Norris and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz for fourth overall in the championship, with AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda eighth.
Tsunoda led a race for the first time, for five laps after Verstappen and Leclerc pitted on 17 and 18 respectively, providing a nice farewell for retiring AlphaTauri team boss Franz Tost.
The points were still not quite enough to overtake Williams in seventh place overall.
Hamilton finished ninth and Canadian Lance Stroll took the final point for Aston Martin in a race with no retirements.

MERCEDES AND FERRARI BATTLE

Verstappen was 6.2 seconds clear of Leclerc at half distance, with the television cameras mostly focused on the tight battle between Mercedes and Ferrari and the order changing through the evening.
The champion, who wrapped up his third title in Qatar last month with six grands prix to spare, led cleanly into the first corner from pole position with Leclerc close behind and twice trying to get past on the opening lap.
McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris followed in hot pursuit, with the latter passing Russell at the start, and traded positions as Leclerc's challenge faded.
Russell passed Piastri for fourth on lap 11 and then overtook Norris in the pits four laps later after a slow 5.1 second stop for the McLaren driver.
Further back Hamilton and Gasly made contact on lap 15, the Mercedes running into the back of the Alpine, in a tussle for sixth place.
Perez, who started in ninth place, was handed his time penalty for a collision with Norris while trying to pass the McLaren on lap 47.
"That's just dangerous driving. He had loads of space," said Norris over the radio, with the Mexican later protesting that he had been ahead.

When Michael Schumacher won an unprecedented 13 races in 2004, he had entered 18 grands prix compared to the 22 Verstappen will race in this season. With an ever-expanding F1 calendar, the addition of sprint races and more points on offer than before, it\u2019s natural that drivers will obtain larger point totals as the years roll by. In 2022, Verstappen set a new precedent, tallying a total of 454 points on his way to a second consecutive drivers\u2019 world title. At just 25 years old, Verstappen is currently the third most successful driver in terms of wins in F1 history.

    Any limits that appeared to restrict Max Verstappen‘s young career when he entered the F1 paddock for the first time in 2015 have been unequivocally demolished in 2023. Coming off the back of a record-breaking season in its own right in 2022, the Dutchman has taken his unmatched run of form to new heights this season: winning an unprecedented 19 grands prix over the course of the season, claiming his third F1 world title in Qatar with six GPs remaining and demolishing several F1 records along the way.

    \n

    During the season finale in Abu Dhabi, Verstappen led all but six of the 58 laps around Yas Marina \u2014 another dominant display that made him the first driver in the series’ history to total over 1000 laps led in a single season. Thanks to his superiority \u2014 and the lengthening F1 calendar \u2014Verstappen’s total number of leading laps in 2023 equals the combined total that Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost achieved in 1988.

    \n

    At just 25 years old, and with the potential of racing for over a decade more, Verstappen is already one of the most statistically impressive drivers F1 has ever seen.

    \n

    Here is every record Verstappen beat in 2023.

    Verstappen ended his third successive title-winning campaign with a 290-point lead over second-place team-mate Sergio Perez \u2014 almost double that of the previous record: Sebastian Vettel‘s 155-point winning margin over Fernando Alonso in 2013.

    \n

    In a season where the Dutchman achieved unrivalled consistency when others struggled, it was perhaps inevitable that the Dutchman’s lead would continue to grow at the top of the standings ever since taking commanding control at the Monaco GP.

    In a year where Ferrari and Mercedes both possessed race-winning machinery, Verstappen was still able to defy the odds and capture 15 grand prix victories in 2022. At the wheel of the RB19, the Dutchman eclipsed himself in 2023, scoring 19 race victories in total.

    \n

    At his own admission, this record holds a little less weight than others given the expanding nature of the F1 calendar. When Michael Schumacher won an unprecedented 13 races in 2004, he had entered 18 grands prix compared to the 22 Verstappen will race in this season.

    \n

    Nevertheless, he won 86.36% of grands prix in 2023, which is the highest winning percentage in F1 history, eclipsing Alberto Ascari’s 75% rate from six wins out of eight races in 1952.

    With an ever-expanding F1 calendar, the addition of sprint races and more points on offer than before, it’s natural that drivers will obtain larger point totals as the years roll by. In 2022, Verstappen set a new precedent, tallying a total of 454 points on his way to a second consecutive drivers’ world title. But in 2023, the Dutchman pushed the bar even higher.

    \n

    Following his 19th grand prix victory of the season in Abu Dhabi, Verstappen ended the season sat on a staggering 575 championship points.

    \n

    That’s 121 more points than last years tally, and 162 points better than Hamilton’s best effort in 2019.

    Verstappen’s victory at the Italian Grand Prix redefined the term ‘dominant’, as he became the first driver in F1 history to record ten straight race wins.

    \n

    Despite being outqualified by Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, the Dutchman drove an almost perfect race, waiting for the moment the Spaniard made a mistake \u2014 which he did when locking up into Turn 1 \u2014 and pouncing into the lead. From there he never looked back, setting a new benchmark for consecutive GP wins.

    \n

    Sainz then interrupted Verstappen’s run, with the only non-Red Bull victory of the year in Singapore. The Dutchman was unfazed, winning the remaining seven races of the year. That streak is itself is the third-longest, equal with Alberto Ascari’s seven victories in 1952 and 1953; Michael Schumacher’s winning run in 2004; and Nico Rosberg’s first-place finishes from 2015 to 2016.

    A season for the ages was crowned by a monumental achievement in Abu Dhabi, as Verstappen became the first driver in F1 history to led over 1000 laps in a single season.

    \n

    He was also the only driver in 2023 to complete every single racing lap.

    \n

    The continuing expansion of the calendar has been a major contributing factor to the Dutchman’s ability to best what many once believed to be ‘unbeatable’ records, but his ability and consistency have also matched some of the greatest names before him.

    Verstappen has been the unmatched ‘King of the Sprint’ in 2023 \u2014 winning four out of six and surpassing Valtteri Bottas’ season-long total of two from 2021.

    \n

    Sergio Perez and Oscar Piastri were the only drivers to dethrone Verstappen during sprints \u2014 the former winning from pole in Azerbaijan while the latter achieved the same feat in Qatar.

    \n

    All-time wins ranking

    \n

    3rd (54 wins)

    \n

    At just 25 years old, Verstappen is currently the third most successful driver in terms of wins in F1 history. His tally of 54 race victories sits above Alain Prost‘s career total of 51 and Vettel’s 53; both drivers had their previous records smashed by Verstappen in 2023.

    \n

    Although the Dutchman had admitted to being uninterested by the records he’s setting, with many years of racing still ahead of him, Schumacher’s (91) and Hamilton’s (103) totals are well within reach. In fact, if Red Bull’s current dominance were to continue, Verstappen could have already beaten his former rival’s record by midway through the 2026 F1 season.

    \n

    Of course, the idea of Verstappen and Red Bull remaining perfect for the next two and half years might seem inconceivable now…but may not be an impossible feat given what the young Dutchman has accomplished already.
