Revised statistics and new records - How F1's books look post Monaco Grand Prix

The record and history books were rewritten at the conclusion of the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. With his victory, Max Verstappen turned some of the sport's statistics in his favour, including becoming Red Bull's most successful driver.

Since joining Red Bull midway through the 2016 season, Verstappen has given the team plenty of ROIs in the years since. And last time out in Miami, Verstappen sealed his 38th win in Red Bull colours, tying with four-time champion Sebastian Vettel.

But with his victory in Monaco, Verstappen made that record his own as he secured his 39th Formula 1 career victory. On the all-time list, the Dutchman is sixth with the number of F1 victories to his name.

In addition to leading every lap of the Monaco race, Verstappen also led the 2 000th lap of his F1 career. He is only the seventh F1 driver in history to achieve the feat.

Interestingly, Verstappen is yet to finish a race outside the top 2 in 2023.

The Monaco stats

Since the current decade started, Red Bull has won every iteration of the Monaco Grand Prix, with Verstappen taking the win in 2021 and '23, and Sergio Perez last year.

For second-place finisher Fernando Alonso, it was also a weekend of milestones.

At 41-years-old, he is the oldest driver to appear on the Monaco podium since Jack Brabham in 1970. It was also his fifth podium appearance in Monaco and his first since 2012.

Alonso's second place was his first since Hungary in 2012 when he raced for Ferrari.

Esteban Ocon's podium finish is a feather in the cap for his homeland France, as he becomes the first Frenchman since Olivier Panis' 1996 podium appearance. Panis won that year's edition of the Monaco GP.
