Which driver has recorded the most race wins in an F1 season?
Max Verstappen (15 - 2022)
Max Verstappen holds the record for the most race wins in a single F1 season with 15.
In a simply remarkable campaign in 2022, the Red Bull driver won all but seven of the 22 grands prix as he cruised home to claim the second world title of his career.
Despite his campaign getting off to a rocky start with effectively two DNFs across his opening three races, the 2021 world champion fought back in style, winning eight of the final 10 races of the season to break the single-season race wins record.
Still only 25 years of age heading into the 2023 season, the flying Dutchman will be hoping to break his own record in the future!
Michael Schumacher (13 - 2004)
German legend Michael Schumacher set the previous record for most grand prix victories in an F1 season back in 2004, when he came home victorious on 13 separate occasions.
Blessed with world class ability and a Ferrari car that proved dominant that year, Schumacher won 72.2% of the 18 races that were held, the highest percentage ever recorded in the sport.
He also recorded second place finishes in Italy and Belgium on his way to recording 148 points in the drivers' world championship.
Sebastian Vettel (13 - 2013)
Fellow German Sebastian Vettel equalled Schumacher's famous record back in 2013 when he romped home with the fourth of his four consecutive world championship titles.
Winning 13 out of 19 races on the calendar that year in his Red Bull car, Vettel emulated his idol growing up before he himself moved to Ferrari for a stint with the Italian team.
Amazingly when finishing a race in 2013, Vettel never finished below P4!
