Which driver holds the record for the most wins in a single Formula One season?

Max Verstappen holds the record for the most wins in a single Formula One season. He won 19 of the 22 Grands Prix during the 2023 championship, setting a new benchmark for victories in one year.

Verstappen’s 2023 campaign was exceptionally dominant. He won the season opener in Bahrain and continued collecting victories across the calendar, including a record-breaking run of 10 consecutive wins from the Miami Grand Prix to the Italian Grand Prix. He secured his third consecutive drivers’ title at the Qatar Grand Prix.

Before Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher had each won 13 races in a season, while Verstappen himself had raised the mark to 15 victories in 2022. The record concerns Grand Prix wins, not sprint victories, poles or total race-weekend wins. Verstappen also finished on the podium in 21 of the 22 races.
