Rewriting the record books: F1's stats and facts in the wake of the British GP

Records were matched and/or shattered in this past Sunday's British Grand Prix, while new ones were set in the process.

The headlines belonged to Red Bull and Max Verstappen, and fans should brace themselves for what is quickly shaping up to be a record-breaking year for the Austrian team and Dutch driver.

Here's how F1's books look now coming out of Silverstone.

• In 1988, McLaren set an all-time record for consecutive wins when Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost romped to 11 victories. Thirty-five years later, at the 2023 British GP, Red Bull matched it with a winning run that started at the 2022 Abu Dhabi GP.

• On his turn, Verstappen became only the fifth driver in F1 history to win six consecutive races in a single season. Sebastian Vettel holds the outright record of nine successive wins set in 2013.

• Verstappen ties with Daniel Ricciardo's record of 29 consecutive classified race finishes in Red Bull colours - the longest run for a driver representing the team. Sunday's win was also Verstappen's 11th consecutive time on the podium, tying him with Vettel in fourth on the all-time list. Michael Schumacher appeared on the podium a record 19 times consecutively between 2001 and 2002.

• For the eighth time in his F1 career, Verstappen achieved a hat-trick weekend, i.e. win, starting on pole, and setting the fastest lap. He is tied with Vettel and Prost for fifth on the all-time list.

• McLaren had a very good race, and Lando Norris' P2 is the team's first podium in the British GP since Lewis Hamilton finished P2 in 2010. It is also Norris' first time appearing on the podium at his home race.

• Norris and Hamilton are the first British drivers to appear on the British GP podium since 1999, when David Coulthard and Eddie Irvine
