F1 milestones and records could be achieved at the Brazilian Grand Prix

After Fernando Alonso competed in his 400th Grand Prix weekend in Mexico, the Formula 1 drivers in Brazil can achieve more milestones and records. This includes milestones for Max Verstappen and Ferrari.

Verstappen will start his 206th consecutive race in Formula 1, dating all the way back to his debut in 2015. This equals Nico Rosberg's run of races between 2006 and 2016, which puts the Dutchman level with third place on the all-time list. Only Daniel Ricciardo (2011-2022) and Lewis Hamilton (2007-2020) have had longer streaks. Valtteri Bottas is one race behind Verstappen's tally.

If Verstappen (and/or Sergio Perez) score points in the race, Red Bull will end their 65th consecutive race with points. This will be the second-longest streak in F1 history.

Milestones for Ferrari in Brazil

Ferrari are making a surge in the Constructors' Championship. The gap between leaders McLaren and Ferrari now sits at 29 points with 3 races remaining. This is partly thanks to the fact the Italian team won in Austin and Mexico. If they win the third race in the triple header, it will mark their first run of three wins since 2019 when Sebastian Vettel and Leclerc were teammates. If they are to complete the hatrick of wins, a Ferrari engine will win a race for the 250th time. 

Another Ferrari win will be their sixth during the season. They haven't managed that many since 2018. They could also return to the top of the championship for the first time since the 2022 Miami Grand Prix.
