Piastri could equal the third longest finishing streak in F1, Leclerc could overtake Alonso’s Ferrari podium tally and Verstappen could equal Schumacher on the list of most podiums with a single team, Here are the milestones and records which could be broken at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix!
THE 2025 MIAMI GRAND PRIX MILESTONES
The 2025 Miami Grand Prix will be the 1,131st World Championship event in Formula 1 history.
This will be the 80th time that Formula 1 has raced in the United States. It will be the fourth Miami Grand Prix held at Miami International Autodrome since the event was first held in 2022.
The first lap of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix will be the first Grand Prix lap at the track which Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas will not complete.
The 2025 Miami Grand Prix is the first F1 race to take place on May 4 in 22 years. The other races held on this date were the 1969 Spanish Grand Prix, the 1980 Belgian Grand Prix and the 2003 Spanish Grand Prix.
The 2025 Miami Grand Prix marks the 80th round of the World Championship to take place in the United States. That sees the nation overtake Germany and Britain for second on the list of most races hosted by a country. The United States becomes the second country, after Italy, to have hosted as many as 80 races.
Lap 29 of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix will be the 200th Grand Prix racing lap at Miami International Autodrome in the track’s history on the F1 calendar.
The 2025 Miami Grand Prix will host the second Sprint weekend of the 2025 F1 season. This will be the 20th Sprint event in total. It will be the second time that Miami International Autodrome has hosted the Sprint format, having done so for the first time last year.
THE FORMULA 1 RECORDS WHICH COULD BE BROKEN
If a driver other than Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris leads the Drivers’ Championship after the race, it will be the first time since 2012 that as many as three different drivers have led the standings during a single season.
Oscar Piastri has finished every race since the 2023 Mexico City Grand Prix. If he finishes again at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, it will be the 34th consecutive race which he has finished, equalling the third-longest finishing streak in F1 history, set by Daniel Ricciardo.
A podium finish for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix would see him equal Michael Schumacher for second on the list of most podium finishes with a single constructor. Schumacher took 116 top three finishes with Ferrari in his career, while Verstappen has taken 115 podiums to date with Red Bull.
A top ten finish for Max Verstappen this weekend will see him equal Kimi Raikkonen for the fourth-longest scoring streak in Formula 1 history. Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri can equal the sixth longest scoring streak in F1.
A pole position for Lando Norris would be his 11th with McLaren, overtaking Alain Prost and equalling Kimi Raikkonen for fifth place on the list of most poles with the team.
Should Max Verstappen lead 18 laps of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, he will overtake Sebastian Vettel for third place on the list of most Grand Prix laps led in F1.
A podium finish for Charles Leclerc would be his 45th with Ferrari. That would see him overtake Fernando Alonso for fifth place on the list of most top three finishes with the team in F1 history.
The 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix was the 19th all-Mercedes-powered podium in Formula 1 history. Should it happen again at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, it would make Mercedes the second engine manufacturer – after Ford Cosworth – to record 20 podium lockouts in F1.
Miami International Autodrome is one of three tracks on the current F1 calendar at which Lewis Hamilton has never previously taken victory. Should he win the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton will extend the record for the most different circuits at which a driver has won to 32.
As well as having no wins here, Miami International Autodrome is the only current track at which Hamilton has never previously finished on the podium. Should he finish in the top three, Hamilton will extend the record for podiums at the most different circuits to 37. It would leave Buddh International Circuit in India as the only track at which Hamilton has never recorded a podium in his entire Formula 1 career. Miami is the only track at which he has never recorded a top four result, having finish sixth here in each of the last three seasons.
Lewis Hamilton has taken pole position at 32 different circuits to date in his career. Miami International Autodrome is one of three circuits on the current calendar at which Hamilton has never taken pole. A pole position at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix would extend his record for poles at the most different circuits to 33.
Victory for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix would see him win a seventh race in the United States. It would make the United States the first country in which he has won on seven occasions and would make him the third driver – after Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton – to have won as many as seven times in a single country.
A pole position at any race in 2025 for Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto or Isack Hadjar would make them the youngest 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 leads the race from start to finish, he will equal Sebastian Vettel for third on the list of most F1 races led from start to finish. Verstappen has led 14 Grands Prix from start to end so far in his career.
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.
Red Bull are one fastest lap short of becoming the fifth team to record a century of fastest laps in Formula 1. A fastest lap for a Red Bull driver would make 2025 the 17th consecutive season in which the team has recorded the fastest lap in a Grand Prix. That would equal Ferrari’s record of 17 successive years with a fastest lap, set between 1995 and 2011.
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 MIAMI GRAND PRIX RECORDS ON OFFER
Max Verstappen currently holds the record for most Miami Grand Prix victories, with two. He could extend the record this weekend or it could be equalled by Lando Norris, should he win the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.
Victory for Lando Norris in the 2025 Miami Grand Prix would see him equal Max Verstappen for the longest win streak to date at the event. Verstappen won both of the first two races at the track.
Red Bull lead the way for most team victories in Miami, with two. Their record could be equalled by McLaren at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, as could their record of two consecutive wins at the venue.
Max Verstappen is the only driver to finish on the podium in every running of the Miami Grand Prix to date. His record of three podium finishes at Miami International Autodrome could be equalled at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix by Charles Leclerc.
Red Bull have more podiums than any other team in Miami, with four. They could extend the record this weekend, or their record could be overtaken or equalled by Ferrari.
The Netherlands’ record of three podium finishes at the Miami Grand Prix could be equalled or overtaken this weekend by Monaco or Spain.
Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Esteban Ocon, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will be hoping to maintain their record of scoring points in every Miami Grand Prix to date.
Max Verstappen’s record of two fastest laps at the Miami Grand Prix could be equalled by Oscar Piastri this weekend, while Red Bull’s record as the team with the most fastest laps here could be equalled by McLaren.

The drivers hoping to maintain their 100% completion rate are Alex Albon, Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Esteban Ocon, Fernando Alonso, George Russell, Lance Stroll, Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda. Alpine, Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull are the four teams who’ve completed every lap at the track to date.
A retirement for Lando Norris or Pierre Gasly would see them become the first drivers to record multiple DNFs at Miami International Autodrome.
2025 MIAMI GRAND PRIX: QUALIFYING RECORDS
No driver has taken more than one pole position at the Miami Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc or Max Verstappen could become the first driver to do so this weekend, while anyone else could become the fourth different polesitter in the four races at the track.
Having secured the last two pole positions at the track, Red Bull lead the way for most team poles in Miami. They could extend their existing record at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, or their current tally could be equalled by Ferrari.
A front row start for Charles Leclerc would see him become the first driver to start from the front row on three occasions. Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen can equal Leclerc’s current record of two front row starts at the track.
Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz can become the first drivers to reach Q3 on four occasions at Miami International Autodrome in qualifying for the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.
Kevin Magnussen, Logan Sargeant and Zhou Guanyu are the only drivers to record multiple Q1 exits in Miami. They could be joined in that group this weekend by Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Lance Stroll, Esteban Ocon, Yuki Tsunoda and Alex Albon.
LONGEVITY RECORDS ON OFFER FOR HAMILTON AND ALONSO
A win for Lewis Hamilton this year would see him move into the top ten of Formula 1’s oldest Grand Prix winners. Meanwhile, a victory for Fernando Alonso would make him the sport’s sixth oldest winner – and the oldest since Jack Brabham at the 1970 South African 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.
