As Norris equals Coulthard as the driver who has made the most starts with McLaren, Britain could reach 800 podium finishes and the polesitter could win eight consecutive races for the first time since 1976. Here are the milestones and records which could be broken at the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix!
THE 2025 LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX MILESTONES
The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the 1,147th World Championship event in Formula 1 history.
This will be the third running of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Overall, it will be the fifth time F1 has staged a race in Las Vegas, including the two Caesars Palace Grands Prix held in the early 1980s.
This weekend, Lando Norris will equal David Coulthard as the driver who has made the most starts with McLaren in Formula 1. Coulthard made 150 starts with the team during his career.
Both Lando Norris and George Russell make their 150th Grand Prix starts this weekend, becoming the 48th and 49th drivers to have made as many as 150 starts.
The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the 250th race at which Williams will compete with Mercedes engines.
2025 becomes only the fourth season, after 1982, 2023 and 2024, in which Formula 1 has raced in the United States on three occasions in a single year.
The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the 78th round in World Championship history to not take place on a Sunday. It is the 62nd round of the World Championship to take place on a Saturday.
The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix marks the 82nd time that Formula 1 has raced in the United States.
The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix marks the first time that a Formula 1 race has taken place on November 22.
THE FORMULA 1 RECORDS WHICH COULD BE BROKEN
All of the last seven races have been won from pole position. Another win from pole at the Las Vegas Grand Prix would make this the first time that eight races in a row have been won from pole since the eight races between the 1976 United States Grand Prix West and the 1976 German Grand Prix. It is the only time it has happened in F1 history.
The drivers who started 1st and 2nd have finished 1st and 2nd, in the same order, at all of the last four Grands Prix. It is the equal-longest such streak, having happened only twice before – the 1992 Mexican and San Marino Grands Prix, and between the 2016 United States and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix. If it happens again at the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, it will be the first time in F1 history that the drivers starting first and second have finished in the same order at five successive races.
If 1 British driver finishes on the podium, Britain will become the first nation to record 800 podium finishes in Formula 1.
Lewis Hamilton has taken pole position at 32 different circuits to date in his career. Las Vegas Strip Circuit is one of three circuits on the current calendar at which Hamilton has never taken pole. A pole position at the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix would extend his record for poles at the most different circuits to 33.
Las Vegas Strip Circuit is one of only two circuits on the current calendar at which Max Verstappen has never previously taken pole position. If he takes pole for the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, he will move ahead of Sebastian Vettel for second on the list of most circuits at which a driver has taken pole position. It would be the 24th track at which Verstappen has taken pole.
Victory for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix would see him win an eighth race in the United States. It would make the United States the first country in which he has won on eight occasions and would make him the third driver – after Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton – to have won as many as eight times in a single country.
Las Vegas Strip Circuit is one of three tracks on the current F1 calendar at which Lewis Hamilton has never previously taken victory. Should he win the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Hamilton will extend the record for the most different circuits at which a driver has won to 32.
A pole position for Max Verstappen would see the Netherlands equal Italy for sixth place on the list of most poles for a nation in Formula 1.
If McLaren lock out the front row for the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, this will be the team’s 70th front row lock-out. They will become the second constructor to reach the milestone, after Mercedes who did so at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix.
If Oscar Piastri wins the 2025 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, he will join a list of nine other drivers – including his team-mate – who’ve won as many as ten Grands Prix without ever winning the title.
A victory for Lando Norris would see him equal Carlos Reutemann for third on the list of most Grand Prix wins without a title, behind only Stirling Moss (16) and David Coulthard (13).
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 or Lewis Hamilton – winning from pole position having led every lap and set the fastest lap – would be their seventh Grand Slam. It would see them take outright second place 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.

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.
