Verstappen set another F1 record

As reported by ESPN F1, the Red Bull driver became the first driver to lead over 1000 laps in an F1 season. The record for the most laps led in a season was previously held by former Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel —739 laps; however, Verstappen eclipsed the record at the Qatar Grand Prix and further hit new heights, extending over 1000 laps.

This remarkable record adds another layer to Verstappen's outstanding weekend, during which he equalled the record for the most pole positions in a single season, as reported by DRS Zone during the race qualifying.

As the 2024 season is poised to kick off in Bahrain in just 94 days, Verstappen will undoubtedly aspire to continue his streak and deliver another spectacular F1 season.
