Most Consecutive Wins to Start a Season (5 wins, 2023)

Lore & Background

The RB19 followed the championship-winning RB18. Red Bull had a dominant season: the car was immediately competitive, with both drivers securing wins in the opening rounds. Verstappen and Pérez opened the season with five consecutive victories, setting the record for the most consecutive wins to start a season. Verstappen went on to win the Drivers' Championship with a record 19 wins out of 22 races, while Red Bull secured the Constructors' Championship with ease. The second seat remained stable throughout the season, with Pérez contributing to the team's success.

In Their Own Story

The atmosphere in the Miami garage wasn't one of frantic pre-race jitters, but a surreal, humming stillness. There were no desperate radio calls for setup tweaks or last-minute panic over tire degradation; the RB19 was simply untouchable. As Max Verstappen crossed the line to claim his fourth consecutive victory, the pit wall didn't erupt in relief—they celebrated an inevitability that had been written before the lights even went out. The telemetry screens confirmed what the drivers already felt: the gap wasn't just wide; it was a chasm. In the cockpit, the silence was profound, broken only by radio crackles that sounded less like race control and more like historians acknowledging a new era of absolute supremacy.
