The Formula 1 Reigning world champion Max Verstappen will surpass former world champion Michael Schumacher this year at the Formula 1 2024 season for most races with a single constructor. Only Lewis Hamilton will be at the top with 240 races for the Mercedes F1 team. 

Max Verstappen is the youngest-ever race winner at the F1. He debuted at 17 and has broken many F1 records since his arrival. He debuted for the Red Bull junior Team Toro Rosso in the 2014 Formula 1 season. He was promoted to the senior team in the year 2016 and since then he has been an integral part of the Red Bull Racing team.

Schumacher's record will be broken this year

It's been a decade since Max Verstappen made his first F1 appearance, and this season, he will break Michael Schumacher's record for the most races with a single constructor. Schumacher holds the record at Ferrari, with over 180 races. 

Verstappen has equaled Schumacher's record of 180 races with the Red Bull racing team in the last F1 race. In this year, he will definitely surpass Michael Schumacher and he will compete with Lewis Hamilton who is the only one sitting at the top.

Lewis Hamilton has raced in the most races for the Mercedes Team, 240 races so far. Next year, he will be moving to Ferrari, so we will have an official record number to beat after this year. But it's up to Max Verstappen to break the record alongside Red Bull, as his Red Bull contract ends in 2025. If he continues with the same team after 2025, then he can break Lewis Hamilton's Record.

Max Verstappen already holds the record for the youngest driver to score points, race in F1, win a race, and set the fastest lap. He also holds the records for the youngest F1 Grand Slam winner, Most podiums in a single season, Most World championship points, Most wins in a single season, and Most consecutive race wins.
