13 races. 0 podiums. Lewis Hamilton has now gone longer than most before tasting champagne in Ferrari red. He’s third on the all-time list for most races before a first Ferrari podium, a list no legend wants to be on. The wait continues…

Only THREE drivers in F1 history have scored points in 30+ consecutive Grands Prix: 1. Lewis Hamilton - 48 (2018-2020) & 33 (2016-2018) 2. Max Verstappen - 43 (2022-2024) & 31 (2024-2025) 3. Oscar Piastri - 31 (2024-2025) The next-best active streak? Just 11, also by Hamilton.

021

McLaren have now taken SIX 1-2 finishes this season, their best since Alain Prost & Ayrton Senna’s iconic 1988 season, when they took TEN (from just 16 races!). 🧡 And with 11 races still to go… that record is under serious threat.

000

McLaren pulled off their third straight 1-2 finish, something they haven’t done in 27 years. 🧡 They’re the first team to do it in the ground effect era, and in the entire hybrid era, only one other team has managed it - Mercedes. No Red Bull. No Ferrari. Let that sink in!

000

Oscar Piastri has now taken SIX wins in the 2025 #F1 season, the MOST by an Australian in a single year. 🇦🇺 Oscar Piastri - 6 (2025) Jack Brabham - 5 (1960) Alan Jones - 5 (1980) Already a national legend, and it's only his third season.

12 races down, 12 to go. It's race week! 🔥

Hulkenberg spent 19 laps running in the top-three at Silverstone, more than he had managed across the previous eight years combined (11).

F1 StatsGuru @f1statsguru.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Nico Hulkenberg became Formula 1’s oldest first-time podium finisher in over 50 years. At 37 years, 10 months and 17 days, he’s the oldest since George Follmer, who was 39 years, 3 months and 2 days old when he finished on the podium at the 1973 Spanish Grand Prix.

Red Bull now has 50 poles in the turbo-hybrid era. Only Mercedes has more... and by a mile. They’ve taken 125. That’s 2.5x more!

000

Gasly in Q3: 🔹 2025 - 7 times in 12 races 🔹 2024 - 7 times in 24 races And Alpine are last in the standings, but not because of him.

000

Alonso has now outqualified Lance Stroll 50 times. Only one driver has been outqualified by Alonso more often - Felipe Massa (58 times). Different era, same Alonso.

Fernando Alonso has now outqualified Lance Stroll for the 24th race in a row. The last time Stroll started ahead of him? Exactly a year ago, Silverstone 2024.

000

Lewis Hamilton has two wins at Silverstone from outside the top-3: 🔹 P4 in 2008 (McLaren) 🔹 P6 in 2014 (Mercedes) And both those victories came on 6th July. Today is 6th July and he starts outside the top-3. 👀

Isack Hadjar remains the only rookie to have avoided a Q1 elimination in 2025 so far. The others in that club? Norris, Piastri, Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell and Albon. Some serious names. 👏

Another day, another milestone for Fernando Alonso. 🇪🇸

Lewis Hamilton has now qualified inside the top-five in four straight rounds. A sharp turnaround after recording just two top-five starts in the first nine races of the season, including Sprints.

For the first time this season, Oscar Piastri will not start from the front row in back-to-back races. The last time that happened was in Las Vegas and Qatar in 2024.

000

This is just the second time in Lando Norris’s career that he’s topped all three qualifying segments (Q1, Q2 and Q3). The first was in Australia earlier this year. 🇦🇺 Fun fact - The last seven times a driver has topped all three qualifying sessions, they’ve gone on to win the race.

100

Lando Norris’ pole margin of 0.521s is the biggest of his F1 career and McLaren’s largest in nearly 16 years. The last time they secured a bigger gap was at the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009, when Lewis Hamilton was 0.667s clear.

Lando Norris is now fifth on McLaren’s all-time pole list with 12 poles, moving ahead of Kimi Raikkonen. Only Senna, Hakkinen, Hamilton and Hunt have more. Senna - 46 Hakkinen - 26 Hamilton - 26 Hunt - 14 Norris - 12

Lando Norris' DNF in Canada ended an incredible run for McLaren - 22 consecutive races without a single retirement, the longest streak in the team’s history. Hard to believe that just eight years ago, they had 16 DNFs and 2 DNS in a 20-race season. Wild how far they’ve come.

Each of Lando Norris’ last four DNFs has come from accidents or collisions: ❌ Canada 2025 – Collision ❌ Austria 2024 – Collision ❌ Miami Sprint 2024 – Collision ❌ Las Vegas 2023 – Accident His last mechanical DNF? Sao Paulo 2022.

At just 18, Kimi Antonelli has ticked off these #F1 milestones in record time: ✅ Youngest to lead a race ✅ Youngest to take pole (in any format) ✅ Youngest to set a fastest lap ✅ 2nd-youngest to score points ✅ 3rd-youngest to start a race ✅ 3rd-youngest to get a podium

📊 Eight of the youngest 50 #F1 podiums by average age have occurred in 2025. Every single one featured either Oscar Piastri or Kimi Antonelli. A generational shift is well underway.

For a team fighting to stay ahead, Red Bull have some serious internal issues to sort out.

000

McLaren scored 116 points across the Imola, Monaco, and Spain races, the third-highest total by a team in a triple header. 🥇 Red Bull (2023) – 125 pts (2 Sprints) 🥈 Mercedes (2020) – 121 pts (0 Sprints) 🥉 McLaren (2025) – 116 pts (0 Sprints)

000

Racing Bulls were the fourth-highest scoring team in the triple header with 20 points. They scored more points than both Mercedes (18) and Williams (17).

000

The last time Red Bull scored 1 point or less in a race where both drivers finished was 3,318 days ago, at the 2016 Russian GP. Ricciardo and Kvyat finished 11th and 15th that day. Just four days later, Kvyat was replaced by Max Verstappen.

000

McLaren have now taken four consecutive double podiums. 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇲🇨🇪🇸 The last time they did that? 25 years ago, when Hakkinen and Coulthard did it from France to Hungary 2000.

000

Lewis Hamilton has scored a podium in every F1 season he’s raced in. He’s never had to wait longer than Round 10 for his first podium of the year (2009 & 2024). The next race in Canada is Round 10. Will he keep the streak alive?

000

Kimi Antonelli's triple header results - 🇮🇹 - DNF 🇲🇨 - P18 🇪🇸 - DNF Unfortunately, this is the first time a Mercedes driver has gone point-less across a triple header.

Only four drivers have led laps in 100+ races in F1: Lewis Hamilton - 191* Michael Schumacher - 142 Sebastian Vettel - 107 Max Verstappen - 100* Even if Max leads a lap every other race, it would take nearly 8 years to come close to Hamilton’s record. Will Max stick around that long? #F1

Teams with double podiums in 2025 (from 11 races including Sprints): McLaren - 8 Others - 0 Total domination in papaya. 🧡

Q. Which team was the first to take double podiums in all three races of a triple header? A. Not Mercedes. Not Red Bull. Not Ferrari. It was McLaren, this year! 🇮🇹 - 🥈🥉 🇲🇨 - 🥇🥉 🇪🇸 - 🥇🥈 The papaya are painting the podium orange. 🧡

000

F1 StatsGuru @f1statsguru.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

Only McLaren and Ferrari had both drivers finish in the top-six in all three races of the triple header. Call it a triple dose of teamwork. 🧡❤️

000

And the award for the highest pole-to-win percentage goes to M... Barcelona! 🇪🇸 #F1 #SpanishGP

Isack Hadjar's P6 in Monaco is the best result for a driver on Monaco debut since Sebastian Vettel finished 5th for the same team (Toro Rosso) in 2008. What a talent!

Alex Albon has scored points in seven of the eight races this season, totaling 42 points. That's just one less than his combined points from the last three years with Williams (43).

012

Kimi Antonelli finished 18th and three laps down at Monaco. That’s the lowest race result by a Mercedes driver in Formula 1 history. One for the wrong kind of record books. 🥀

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are the only drivers to have scored points in EVERY race this year, including Sprints.

Oscar Piastri is currently on a streak of 7 consecutive podiums. Only three drivers have taken seven or more podiums in a row without ever winning the Drivers' Championship: ▪️Rubens Barrichello (7 in 2004) ▪️Juan Pablo Montoya (8 in 2003) ▪️Carlos Reutemann (8 between 1980-81)

000

Oscar Piastri now has 17 career podiums, including seven in a row this season. He’s just two shy of George Russell’s overall F1 podium tally.

000

Leading the Constructors' Championship with 319 points after eight races, McLaren has already surpassed their full-season totals from 2022 and 2023. And there are 16 races still to go!

McLaren has scored double points in each of the opening eight races so far this season. A feat they last recorded 18 years ago, in 2007.

McLaren has secured double podiums in each of the last three races. They had just three in all of 2024 and now have six already in 2025, their most since 2007.

A record that went unnoticed. Lando Norris is now the driver to have raced the most laps for McLaren - 7,774 laps, beating David Coulthard's long-standing tally of 7,755 laps from 20 years ago.

Lando Norris joins Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, and Mika Hakkinen as the only drivers to win their first Monaco GP with a hat-trick (pole, win, fastest lap). A rare club and Norris just walked right in.

Charles Leclerc has swept ALL three practice sessions of a race weekend for the fourth time in his #F1 career. Here’s the catch - he’s never won the Grand Prix on any of those weekends... so far. #MonacoGP

Not all Monaco myths hold up under the stats microscope. #F1 #MonacoGP
