Formula 1 driver records that could be broken in 2022


Formula 1 has always been a thrilling sport, with drivers pushing themselves to the limit in order to set new records and achieve victory. While some records are unlikely to be broken in the foreseeable future, others may be well within reach this year. Here are some driver records that could be shattered in 2022:

 

  • Most Grand Prix wins: 
  • Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most wins in Formula 1 history, with 103 wins to date. On the other hand, Michael Schumacher stands second with 91 wins, and Sebastian Vettel is third with 53 victories.

     

  • The fastest ever lap: 
  • Sebastian Vettel currently holds the record for the fastest ever laps in an F1 race, having set a time of 1:10.912 during the 2017 Chinese Grand Prix. With the new cars expected to be even quicker, this record will likely fall in 2022.

     

  • The most pole positions in a season: 
  • Lewis Hamilton currently holds the record for the most pole positions in a single season, taking 14 poles in 2016. However, with the new cars expected to be faster than the previous generation, this record will likely be beaten in 2022.

     

  • Youngest world champion: 
  • Sebastian Vettel holds this record, having won his first championship at 23. Hamilton could potentially break this record in 2022, as he is only five years older than Vettel when he won his first championship.


  • Most consecutive podium finishes:
  • Hamilton also holds the record for the most consecutive podium finishes, having reached the top three in 33 consecutive races between 2014 and 2016. Vettel can equal Hamilton’s record if he finishes on the podium in all 21 races this year.


  • Most points in a season: 
  • Hamilton currently holds the record for the most points scored in a single season, with 408 points in 2014. However, if Vettel can score 413 points this year, he will take the lead.

     


  • Most races led in a season: 
  • Hamilton holds the record for the most races led in a single season, with 16 races shown in 2016. However, if Vettel can lead 17 races this year, he will take the top spot.


  • Most laps led in a season: 
  • Hamilton also holds the record for the most laps led in a single season, with 307 laps shown in 2016. If Vettel can lead 308 laps this year, he will surpass Hamilton and claim the record for himself.

  • Fastest laps in a season: 
  • Hamilton currently holds the record for the fastest laps in a single season, with the nine fastest laps in 2014. However, if Kimi Raikkonen can set the ten fastest laps this year, he can take the top spot.

    These are just some of the records that could break in 2022. Formula 1 is constantly evolving, and the drivers are always pushing themselves to go faster and break new records. With so many records on the line, it will be an exciting season of Formula 1! Who will come out on top? We will have to wait and see.
