McLaren could equal F1’s longest-ever 1-2 streak, Verstappen could take a fourth home win and Piastri could equal the second-longest finishing streak. Here are the milestones and records which could be broken at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix!
THE 2025 DUTCH GRAND PRIX MILESTONES
The 2025 Dutch Grand Prix will be the 1,140th World Championship event in Formula 1 history.
The 2025 Dutch Grand Prix will be the 37th Dutch Grand Prix since the event was first held in 1950 and the 35th time that the event has been held as a round of the World Championship. This will be the 35th Formula 1 race held at Zandvoort. With the track set to leave the calendar after 2026, this will be the penultimate Dutch Grand Prix weekend.
This will be the first time that an F1 race has been held on August 31 in 45 years. The 1980 Dutch Grand Prix – also held at Zandvoort – is the only other race to be held on this day.
Lap 51 of the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix will be the 2,700th racing lap at Zandvoort in the track’s history on the F1 calendar.
THE FORMULA 1 RECORDS WHICH COULD BE BROKEN
McLaren have recorded 1-2 results in all of the last four Grands Prix. Another 1-2 finish in the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would see McLaren set the longest streak of 1-2 finishes in their history. The only other time they’ve taken as many as four 1-2 finishes was between the 1988 German and Belgian Grands Prix.
If McLaren take a 1-2 result at the Dutch Grand Prix, they will become the third team – after Ferrari and Mercedes – to record as many as five consecutive 1-2 results. It is the record for the longest streak of 1-2 finishes in Formula 1 history, achieved by Ferrari twice (in 1952 and 2002) and by Mercedes three times (in 2014, 2015-16 and 2019).
Victory for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would make him the seventh driver to have won at home on as many as four occasions in Formula 1.
Zandvoort is one of three tracks on the current F1 calendar at which Lewis Hamilton has never previously taken victory. Should he win the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, Hamilton will extend the record for the most different circuits at which a driver has won to 32.
Lewis Hamilton has taken pole position at 32 different circuits to date in his career. Zandvoort is one of three circuits on the current calendar at which Hamilton has never taken pole. A pole position at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would extend his record for poles at the most different circuits to 33.
A top ten finish for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would see him equal former team-mate Sergio Perez for sixth on the list of drivers who’ve scored in the most Grands Prix. Verstappen has scored in 187 Grands Prix to date.
If Lando Norris wins the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, he will join a list of eight other drivers who’ve won as many as ten Grands Prix without ever winning the title.
If Oscar Piastri scores a point in the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, he will equal the third-longest scoring streak in Formula 1 history, set by Lewis Hamilton between the 2016 Japanese Grand Prix and the 2018 French Grand Prix. Meanwhile, if he finishes the race, Piastri will equal Max Verstappen for the second longest finishing streak in Formula 1, at 43 races.
Unless he achieves it this weekend, Alex Albon will overtake Pierluigi Martini for third on the list of drivers who’ve made the most starts without ever taking a win, a pole position or a fastest lap. After this weekend, only Martin Brundle and Eddie Cheever will sit ahead of him.
Unless Lance Stroll wins the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, he will overtake Romain Grosjean for fifth on the list of most F1 starts without taking a victory.
A pole position for Red Bull this weekend would be their 108th pole, overtaking Lotus for fifth on the list of most pole positions for a team in Formula 1.
Pole position for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would be his 45th pole with Red Bull, overtaking Sebastian Vettel as the driver who has taken the most poles with the team. It would also see him overtake Vettel for fourth on the list of most poles with a single team.
If Max Verstappen leads the race from start to finish, he will overtake Sebastian Vettel for third on the list of most F1 races led from start to finish. Verstappen has led 15 Grands Prix from start to end so far in his career, doing so most recently at Imola.
A pole position at any Grand Prix in 2025 for Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto or Isack Hadjar would make them the youngest Grand Prix polesitter in F1 history.
Max Verstappen holds the record for wins from the most different grid positions in Formula 1. He’ll become the first driver to win from 11 different grid slots this weekend should he win from 5th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th or 20th on the grid.
If Max Verstappen wins the race without having started from pole position, it will be the 33rd race which he has won from a position other than pole. That would see him equal Alain Prost for third place on the list of most Grand Prix victories away from pole position.
A Grand Slam for Max Verstappen – winning from pole position having led every lap and set the fastest lap – would be his sixth Grand Slam. That would see him equal Lewis Hamilton for second on the list of most Grand Slams in F1, behind only Jim Clark.
A win for Lewis Hamilton would make him the 16th driver to have won Grands Prix with as many as three different teams.
A win for Ferrari would make 2025 the 60th season in which they’ve won a Grand Prix.
A victory for a Ferrari-powered car this weekend would make Ferrari the first engine manufacturer to have powered 250 victories in Formula 1. Of the 249 previous victories, Sebastian Vettel’s with Toro Rosso at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix is the only one which was not taken in a Ferrari chassis.
THE DUTCH GRAND PRIX RECORDS ON OFFER
Max Verstappen has taken three wins to date at Zandvoort. Another win at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would see him equal Jim Clark’s record of four wins at the track. Meanwhile, Lando Norris could become the ninth driver to have taken multiple wins at the circuit.
A podium finish for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would see him become the fourth driver – after Jim Clark, Niki Lauda and Jackie Stewart – to have taken as many as five podiums at Zandvoort.
If Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc lead more than 30 laps of the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix between them, Ferrari will overtake Lotus as the team that has led the most laps at Zandvoort in F1 history. Lotus’ current record tally is 615.
Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso, Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen all hold a 100% points-scoring rate at Zandvoort. They’ll each be looking for another top ten finish this weekend.
2025 DUTCH GRAND PRIX: QUALIFYING RECORDS
Max Verstappen is currently tied with Rene Arnoux as the driver with the most pole positions at Zandvoort. A pole at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would see Verstappen become the first driver to take four pole positions at Zandvoort.
Ferrari are one pole position away from equalling Lotus as the team with the most pole positions in the history of the Dutch Grand Prix.
A front row lock-out for any team at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix would mark the first front row lock-out at Zandvoort since Renault achieved the feat in 1982.
A front row start for Max Verstappen would see him become the first driver to make five front row starts at Zandvoort, moving clear of Graham Hill and Rene Arnoux at the top of the list.
Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc will be hoping to maintain their 100% Q3 appearance rates at the Dutch Grand Prix. Verstappen and Leclerc can become the first drivers to make five Q3 appearances at Zandvoort.
Valtteri Bottas currently holds the record for most Q1 exits at Zandvoort, with three. His record could be equalled this weekend by Esteban Ocon.
LONGEVITY RECORDS ON OFFER FOR HAMILTON AND ALONSO
A win for Lewis Hamilton would see him move into the top ten of Formula 1’s oldest Grand Prix winners. He’d also become the second-oldest British driver to win a Formula 1 race, behind only Nigel Mansell.
A victory for Fernando Alonso would make him the sport’s fifth oldest winner – and the oldest since Juan Manuel Fangio at the 1957 German Grand Prix. Only nine drivers have won races at the age of over 40. The most recent driver to do so was Nigel Mansell, at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix.
A pole position for Lewis Hamilton in 2025 would make him the first driver in his 40s to take pole position since Nigel Mansell at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix. He would be the sixth driver to take a pole position above the age of 40.
Lewis Hamilton is currently tied with Michael Schumacher as the driver who has set the fastest lap of a Grand Prix in the most consecutive seasons. Schumacher set a fastest lap in at least one race in all 15 seasons between 1992 and 2006, while Hamilton has set a fastest lap in every season since 2010. A fastest lap for Hamilton this year would see him become the first driver to take a fastest lap in 16 consecutive seasons.
A win for Fernando Alonso at any race in 2025 would see him set a new record for the longest gap between two Formula 1 victories, with his last having come at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix. The current record is 6 years, 6 months and 28 days, set by Riccardo Patrese.
A pole position for Fernando Alonso in 2025 would make him the sport’s fourth-oldest polesitter. He would be the oldest polesitter since Jack Brabham at the 1970 Spanish Grand Prix.
