Antonelli looks to become the tenth driver to secure five successive F1 wins, McLaren could be the first team to lead 1,000 laps in Monaco and Albon equals Mansell as Williams’ most experienced driver. Here are the milestones and the records which could be broken at the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix!
The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix Milestones
The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix will be the 1,155th race in World Championship history.
This will be the 72nd time that Formula 1 has raced in Monaco. The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix will be the 83rd time that the Monaco Grand Prix has been held since it was first staged in 1929.
The Monaco Grand Prix moves to a new slot on the calendar this year, taking place on the first full weekend in June. This is the first time that the Monaco race will take place in June since the 2003 Monaco Grand Prix was held on June 1. Having being held 72 times previously as part of the World Championship, this is only the sixth time that the event will be held outside of the month of May.
The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix will be the sixth F1 race to be held on June 7. The last race to take place on this date was the 2015 Canadian Grand Prix.
McLaren will celebrate their 1000th Grand Prix at the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix. In total, it will be the team’s 1004th entry – including events that they did not start. Following their double DNS in China earlier this year, the Monaco race will actually be the 999th race that the team starts.
Alex Albon makes his 95th Grand Prix start with Williams at the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, equalling Nigel Mansell as the driver who has made the most Grand Prix starts with the team in their history.
The Formula 1 Records Which Could Be Broken
In Canada, Kimi Antonelli became the first driver in F1 history to take his first four victories at consecutive races. Another win this weekend will see him extend that record further, as well as become only the tenth driver in history to secure as many as five successive victories. He’d be the first person to achieve the feat since Max Verstappen ended a streak of nine consecutive wins at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
A front row start for Max Verstappen would see him overtake Alain Prost and equal Ayrton Senna for fourth place on the list of most front row starts in Formula 1 history. Verstappen has made 86 front row starts to date.
If both Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar finish on the podium this weekend, Red Bull will become the fifth constructor in F1 history to record as many as 300 top three finishes.
Already the only driver over 100 F1 victories, if Lewis Hamilton finishes on the podium without winning the race, he will become the first driver to have stood on the podium 100 times in races that he did not win.
Victory for Norris would see him equal David Coulthard for sixth on the list of most Grand Prix wins with McLaren.
A victory for McLaren would make 2026 the 40th season in which they’ve taken a win.
If Oscar Piastri wins, he will join a list of eight other drivers who have won as many as ten Grands Prix without ever winning the title.
A sixth place finish for Carlos Sainz or Fernando Alonso will see them equal Felipe Massa for the most sixth place finishes in F1 history. Massa recorded 27 sixth place finishes during his career, while Sainz and Alonso have had 26 to date.
With Kimi Antonelli having taken his maiden win at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, there are now 13 previous Grand Prix winners on the grid. If another driver takes a maiden victory this year, the next race will be the first time since the 1980 British Grand Prix that as many as 14 previous winners have lined up on the grid.
The Monaco Grand Prix Records On Offer
If Lando Norris wins the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, he will become the ninth driver to take successive victories at the Monaco Grand Prix. If he takes pole position, he will become the 12th driver to secure consecutive poles at the track.
A top three finish for Lewis Hamilton in the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix would be his eighth podium result in Monaco. That would see him equal Ayrton Senna for the most top three finishes on the streets of Monte Carlo.
Carlos Sainz will be hoping to maintain his 100% points-scoring rate at the Monaco Grand Prix, having scored at all 10 of his appearances in the principality to date. Oscar Piastri, with three appearances to date, and Liam Lawson, who made his first appearance at the event last year, are the only other drivers who’ve scored on every appearance to date at the track.
A victory for a Mercedes-powered car at the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix would see Mercedes overtake Ford Cosworth’s record of 13 victories at the event.
If Lewis Hamilton sets the fastest lap in the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, he will equal Michael Schumacher’s record of five fastest laps at Circuit de Monaco.
If both Ferrari drivers finish on the podium, Ferrari will become the first constructor to record as many as 60 podium finishes at the Monaco Grand Prix. McLaren, in second place on the list, have had 30 top three finishes here.
If Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri lead 42 laps of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix between them, McLaren will become the first team to have led 1,000 laps in total in Monaco.
2026 Monaco Grand Prix: Qualifying Records

A pole position for McLaren would be their 13th at the Monaco Grand Prix, equalling Ferrari’s record for most poles at the event.
A pole position for a Mercedes-powered car at the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix would see them equal Ferrari as the engine manufacturer with the most poles at the event. Ferrari have powered 13 poles at Circuit de Monaco to date.
Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson, who each made their first Monaco Grand Prix appearance last year, are the only current drivers with a 100% Q3 appearance record in Monte Carlo. They could be joined in the club this weekend by Arvid Lindblad. Juan Pablo Montoya, Mark Webber, Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg are the only other drivers who reached Q3 on every appearance at the circuit.
VERSTAPPEN AND RED BULL CHASING RECORDS
Max Verstappen has won 71 races to date with Red Bull. Another victory would see him equal Michael Schumacher for the second-most victories with a single constructor. Schumacher won 72 races with Ferrari during his career. The record for most wins with a team is 84, for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes.
A fastest lap for Max Verstappen would be his 38th, equalling Sebastian Vettel for fifth on the list of most fastest laps.
A victory for Max Verstappen in 2026 would make him only the fourth driver – after Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton – to have won in as many as 11 different Formula 1 seasons.
If Max Verstappen wins a race in 2026, it would be the 11th consecutive season in which he has won a Grand Prix. Verstappen would be only the third driver to win in as many as 11 successive years. Michael Schumacher reached the milestone in 2002, while Lewis Hamilton achieved the feat in 2017. Both drivers went on to win in 15 consecutive years.
A pole position in 2026 for Max Verstappen would make him the fifth driver – after Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton – to record pole positions in as many as eight consecutive Formula 1 seasons.
If Max Verstappen leads from start to finish, this would be the 19th Grand Prix which he has led from lights to flag. That would see him equal Ayrton Senna for second on the list of most races led from start to end.
If Max Verstappen leads the Drivers’ Championship after any race in 2026, it will be the 79th race after which he has led the standings. He will overtake Alain Prost for the most rounds after which a driver has led the title race.
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.
A victory for Red Bull would be their 131st win, equalling Mercedes for third on the list of all-time Grand Prix victories.
A victory for Red Bull in 2026 would make this the 11th consecutive season in which they have won a Grand Prix. They would be the fifth team to have won in as many as 11 successive seasons, after Lotus, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes.
Ferrari to the Fore?
A win for Ferrari would make 2026 the 60th season in which they’ve won a Grand Prix.
A pole position for Charles Leclerc would see him equal Nigel Mansell for eighth on the list of most poles with a single team. Mansell took 28 poles with Williams during his career, while Leclerc has taken 27 poles with Ferrari to date.
A win for Lewis Hamilton would make him the 16th driver to have won Grands Prix with as many as three different teams.
A victory for Lewis Hamilton in 2026 would see him extend his record for the most different seasons in which a driver has won a Grand Prix to 17.

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 victory for a Ferrari-powered car at any race in 2026 would be the engine manufacturer’s 250th Grand Prix win. The works team have taken all but one of the previous 249 wins for Ferrari power – the exception being Sebastian Vettel’s victory at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix.
Longevity Records on Offer for Alonso
Fernando Alonso’s last win came at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix. A victory at any race in 2026 would see him set a new record for the longest gap between wins in F1 history, by quite a margin. Riccardo Patrese holds the current record, having waited 6 years, 6 months and 28 days between wins at the 1983 South African Grand Prix and the 1990 San Marino Grand Prix.
