Red Bull Racing also dominates in this statistic on the 2023 season!

'To finish first, you have to finish first.' The statement is a familiar adage in Formula 1, a sport in which the reliability of the cars has greatly increased over the last decade. Breakdowns due to technical defects are increasingly rare, as was the case in the Red Bull Racing-dominated 2023 season. The Austrian team never even had to pull the car over because of a technical problem.

Max Verstappen managed to finish all Grands Prix last season. Mostly as a winner, so partly as a result, the three-time world champion was nowhere behind in laps. Max Verstappen and teammate Sergio Perez ensured that Red Bull Racing ended up covering the greatest racing distance in Formula 1: in total, Red Bull drove 12,868 kilometres during the Grands Prix.

In doing so, the Austrians did just a little better than Mercedes. The team of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell came to 12,736 kilometres. A notable third in this list was Alfa Romeo - which will revert to Sauber from 2024. The Swiss drove 12,525 kilometres with Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou, but none of it resulted in many points.

The team that reached the fewest kilometres was Williams. Eight times a driver from the British team had to leave the Grand Prix early and rookie Logan Sargeant did not always manage to cross the finish line on the same lap as the winner. Williams came to a total of 11,652 kilometres. Alpine also failed to put at least the 12,000 kilometres on the counter. The Frenchman came to 11,951.
