It came down to the wire in Abu Dhabi🇦🇪, but 🦁Max Verstappen did it: he became the only Formula 1 driver to lead 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ laps (and more, he made it to 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣3️⃣) in the span of one season.

To put that in perspective, there are only 1️⃣9️⃣ F1 drivers who have led more than 1000 laps in their entire CAREERS.

Now, we know that the current era of F1 is a much longer season than back in the day, but still it’s a pretty cool milestone to reach.

For Max’s career numbers, he’s at 2️⃣8️⃣5️⃣8️⃣ laps led since he was a rookie driver who could drive an F1 car but not a regular road car, and if Red Bull keeps at it, then the likelihood that he makes it to the 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ in the early part of the 2024 season is high. 

Only 3️⃣ F1 drivers have led 3,000 laps or more in their career: Lewis Hamilton (5455), Michael Schumacher (5111), and Sebastian Vettel (3501).
