In what many consider the most dominated season by any driver in Formula 1 history, Max Verstappen established himself as one of the legendary figures in the sport setting numerous new records in 2023.
Claiming his third world championship title, Verstappen stamped his mark on the sport and ran away with the World Drivers' Championship.
The Red Bull star managed to set the record for the most wins in an F1 season as he crossed the line first in Abu Dhabi to finish off the season in style.
Just as a reminder ahead of the 2024 season, Verstappen is currently on another victory streak of seven wins, which began with the Japanese Grand Prix last year.

Which driver has recorded the most race wins in an F1 season?
Max Verstappen (19 - 2023)
On October 29 in Mexico City, Max Verstappen broke his own record from the previous year to claim the most wins ever in an F1 season before then extending it in the final four races of the season.
Despite not taking pole position for the 2023 Mexican Grand Prix, the Red Bull maestro expertly took the lead of the race into the first corner and never looked back.
It topped off a season to remember for Verstappen and his team who dominated the field as the 25-year-old claimed the third World championship title of his career in the process.
Max Verstappen (15 - 2022)
In a simply remarkable campaign in 2022, the Red Bull driver won all but seven of the 22 Grand 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 Red Bull driver 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!
