Piastri could equal the fourth-longest finishing streak, Albon moves ahead of Rosberg in the list of most starts with Williams and Verstappen could overtake Vettel on the all-time points list. Here are the milestones and records which could be broken at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix!
THE 2025 SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX MILESTONES
The 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will be the 1,130th World Championship event in Formula 1 history.
This will be the fifth time that Formula 1 has raced in Saudi Arabia – and it will be the fifth Grand Prix held at Jeddah Corniche Circuit since the track joined the calendar in 2021.
The 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix marks the 100th Grand Prix appearance for Aston Martin in Formula 1.
Alex Albon makes his 71st start with Williams this weekend, overtaking Nico Rosberg for sixth on the list of drivers who’ve made the most starts with the team.
The 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will be the third F1 race to take place on April 20, after the 2003 San Marino Grand Prix and the 2014 Chinese Grand Prix.
THE FORMULA 1 RECORDS WHICH COULD BE BROKEN
The 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix was the 19th all-Mercedes-powered podium in Formula 1 history. Should it happen again at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, it would make Mercedes the second engine manufacturer – after Ford Cosworth – to record 20 podium lockouts in F1. It would be the first time they – or any engine manufacturer – have achieved the feat at successive races since the 2015 Canadian and Austrian Grands Prix.
If the polesitter wins the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, this will be the first time that six races in a row have been won from pole since the six races between the 2022 Mexico City Grand Prix and the 2023 Australian Grand Prix.
Oscar Piastri has finished every race since the 2023 Mexico City Grand Prix. If he finishes again at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, it will be the 33rd consecutive race which he has finished, equalling the fourth-longest finishing streak in F1 history.
If Max Verstappen scores six points in the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he will overtake Sebastian Vettel as the driver who has scored the second-most points in Formula 1 history.
Should Max Verstappen lead 39 laps of the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he will overtake Sebastian Vettel for third place on the list of most Grand Prix laps led in F1.
A Q1 exit for Lance Stroll at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix would see him overtake Kevin Magnussen at the top of the list of most Q1 exits in Formula 1. Another Q1 exit for Stroll would make him the first driver to record 75 Q1 exits.
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 podium finish for Charles Leclerc at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will see him equal Fernando Alonso as the driver to have taken the fifth-most podium finishes with Ferrari in Formula 1.
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 SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX RECORDS ON OFFER
Max Verstappen currently holds the record for most Saudi Arabian Grand Prix wins, with two. He could extend the record this weekend, or his record could be equalled by Lewis Hamilton. Any other driver winning would make them the fourth driver to win in Jeddah, after Hamilton, Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
A victory for Max Verstappen would make him the first driver to win consecutive races at Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
Red Bull can extend the record for most consecutive team wins here to four in the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc is the only driver to have taken multiple fastest laps at Jeddah Corniche Circuit. He could extend the record to three at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, or his existing tally could be equalled by Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen.
Ferrari lead the way as the team with the most fastest laps in Saudi Arabia, with two. They could extend their record at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix or their existing number could be equalled by Mercedes or Red Bull.
Max Verstappen will be hoping to continue his 100% podium finish rate at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, having never finished off the podium at Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
If he scores 13 points at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen will become the first driver to have scored 100 points at Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
Should he lead 18 laps of the race, Max Verstappen will become the first driver to have led 100 laps at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. He will remain top of the list after the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix regardless of how many laps anyone else leads in the race.
Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are the only drivers to have completed every Grand Prix lap to date at Jeddah Corniche Circuit. They’ll be keen to keep that streak alive in the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Leclerc, Hamilton and Verstappen each have a 100% points-scoring rate in Jeddah. Esteban Ocon is the only other driver to cross the finish line here in all four races to date.
A retirement for Alex Albon or Lance Stroll would see them become the first driver to reach three non-finishes at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. A DNF for Lance Stroll would make him the first driver to record three consecutive DNFs here.
A first lap retirement for any driver at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix would make them the first to record a first lap DNF at the track.
2025 SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX: QUALIFYING RECORDS
Sergio Perez currently holds the record for most pole positions at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with two. His record could be equalled at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix by Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen.
If he takes pole this weekend, Max Verstappen will become the second driver – after Sergio Perez – to record consecutive poles at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Pole position for a Red Bull driver at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix would see the team extend the record for the most consecutive poles for a team at Jeddah Corniche Circuit to four.
A front row start for Charles Leclerc would see him move clear of Sergio Perez at the top of the list of most front row starts in Saudi Arabia. The existing record could be equalled by Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso or Max Verstappen.
Charles Leclerc will be looking to maintain his record of reaching Q3 on every appearance in Jeddah and become the first driver to reach five Q3 appearances here, while Oscar Piastri will also be hoping to stay in the group of drivers with a 100% Q3 appearance rate here, of which Sergio Perez and Antonio Giovinazzi are the other members.
Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez’s shared record of four Q3 appearances in Jeddah could be equalled in qualifying for the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix by Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Fernando Alonso, Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon.
Nico Hulkenberg could equal Daniel Ricciardo for the most Q2 exits in Jeddah.
Alex Albon and Yuki Tsunoda are currently tied with Logan Sargeant and Nicholas Latifi for the most Q1 exits at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Either driver could set a new record this weekend, while Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton, Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg can become the next drivers to record multiple Q1 exits here.
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.
