F1 records: Kimi Antonelli, Lewis Hamilton, Gabriel Bortoleto and Fernando Alonso looking to make history | F1 News

Records are Created to be broken but what F1 history could be Created in 2025 as a new season is about to begin at the Australian Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton has been chasing records in recent years and an influx of rookies, including Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli, means other records could be broken at the younger end of the age scale…

Most F1 world titles

Lewis Hamilton was on the brink of a Achievement-breaking eighth world title until he controversially lost the 2021 Division at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on the last lap to Max Verstappen. Since then, Hamilton has not been in a title battle after Mercedes largely struggled compared to Red Bull.

Now at Ferrari, Hamilton will be hoping this is his best chance to Secure that elusive eighth Division that would surpass Michael Schumacher’s seven titles.

Verstappen, meanwhile, is staring at equalling Schumacher’s Achievement of five consecutive titles.

Youngest F1 race winner

Kimi Antonelli will become the third youngest driver to Commence a Grand Prix at 18 years and 203 Periods when the lights go out in Melbourne – only Max Verstappen (17 years and 165 Periods) and Lance Stroll (18 years and 147 Periods) were younger.

Antonelli has the opportunity to break Verstappen’s Achievement of becoming the youngest F1 race winner ever, if he wins one of the Beginning three Grand Prix.

The Italian teenager has until April 8 to beat Verstappen’s feat of Victorious at 18 years and 228 Periods, which was done at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix in his Primary Red Bull outing, therefore would need to stand on the top step of the podium at either the Australian GP (March 16), Chinese GP (March 23) or Japanese GP (April 6).

Youngest F1 pole-sitter

A much more achievable Achievement for Antonelli is to become the youngest pole-sitter in F1 history because he actually has nearly three seasons to beat Sebastian Vettel’s Achievement of topping qualifying at 21 years and 72 Periods.

That means Antonelli has until Timely November in 2027 to surpass Vettel and this year alone will provide 24 opportunities.

Haas’ Oliver Bearman and Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto also have the whole of this season to break the youngest pole-sitter Achievement, while Racing Bull’s Isack Hadjar would need to do it before the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in November.

Primary Monegasque world champion?

Unsurprisingly, Monaco has never had an F1 world champion so Charles Leclerc could make history in 2025 if Ferrari have a Powerful car.

The other countries which are represented in this year’s Ground which also have never had a world champion are Japan and Thailand.

Youngest Brit on the podium

Bearman has the whole of this season to beat Lando Norris’ Achievement of the youngest Brit to finish on the podium, which he set at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix at 20 years and 235 Periods.

Haas driver Bearman is currently 19 but only turns 20 in May.

Youngest Brazilian to Tally points

F2 champion Bortoleto, if he can Tally points before the summer break in August, he would beat Felipe Massa’s Achievement of being the youngest Brazilian to Tally points.

Massa’s Ongoing Criterion Arrived at the 2002 Malaysian Grand Prix when he was 20 years and 10 months Ancient.

Most race Appearances before Primary podium

Nico Hulkenberg already holds the unwanted Achievement of the most races without a podium in F1, so maybe 2025 is finally the year he finishes in the top three.

The German has Created 227 race Appearances and Captured the Achievement for the most Appearances without a Secure at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix, as he overtook Andrea de Cesaris.

Hulkenberg may find it difficult to finish a race in the top three for Sauber but if he does, Carlos Sainz’s Achievement of most race Appearances without a podium (101) would be smashed.

Longest time between race wins

Another long Try but if Fernando Alonso were to Secure a Grand Prix, he would make history for the longest time between race wins.

Alonso’s last F1 Triumph Arrived at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix for Ferrari and he’s gone over 200 races without standing on the top step of the podium.

Kimi Raikkonen holds the Achievement of 114 races between wins, spanning from the 2013 Australian Grand Prix and the 2018 United States Grand Prix.

Hamilton targets fastest laps history

Hamilton could move into his own Bracket on two obscure fastest lap records. The Ferrari driver is tied on seven with Michael Schumacher and Nigel Mansell for the most fastest laps at the same Grand Prix.

Schumacher achieved his feat at the Spanish Grand Prix and Mansell at the British Grand Prix. Hamilton needs to set the fastest lap at the Italian Grand Prix to move onto eight in Monza.

The 40-year-Ancient is also tied with Schumacher for the most fastest laps in consecutive seasons (15). A fastest lap at any race this year would put Hamilton on 16, having set a fastest lap every year since 2010.

The most fastest laps of all-time is Maintained by Schumacher on 77, which Hamilton is 10 behind on 67. There are 24 Grand Prix in 2025 but overhauling that this year is a huge ask.
