Big Max Verstappen error continues to be seen on a daily basis

2022 was a year that Max Verstappen will never forget, with the Dutchman having enjoyed the most successful season in the history of Formula 1, where he smashed multiple records out of the park.



It still remains remarkable that Red Bull struggled for reliability as much as they did at the start of the season, with Verstappen alone having retired from two of the opening three races of the season.



The Austrians dealt with their issues in lightning fashion, with Verstappen having been incredibly dominant since the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.



He truly did reign supreme in the recently completed season, with the Dutchman having won 15 of the 22 completed races.

This broke the previous record of 13 wins, which was jointly held by Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher.



Verstappen matched the record at the United States Grand Prix before breaking it at the following race in Mexico, before setting the new benchmark at 15 after winning the season finale in Abu Dhabi.



As well as this, Verstappen set a new record for most points scored in a single season, after accumulating 454 points across the 22-round season.



With 24 races set for 2023 (23 races if the Chinese Grand Prix is cancelled), Verstappen has every chance to break his newly set record.



One record did elude Verstappen in 2022, though, the record for most consecutive wins.



The current record for most consecutive wins is nine, which was achieved by Sebastian Vettel during his incredible 2013 campaign.



Verstappen had managed to get to five consecutive wins, after winning every race from the French to the Italian Grand Prix.



With nobody having seemed capable of beating the 25-year-old, many predicted that Verstappen would give the record a real run for its money.



His run of consecutive wins came to a dramatic end, though, at the Singapore Grand Prix, where he endured a challenging weekend.



Verstappen not only started P10 but went on to massively lock-up following a Safety Car restart, which dropped him to the foot of the field.

As a result, the double World Champion finished seventh at the Marina Bay Circuit, before winning the following three races.



It means that had Verstappen won the Singapore GP, then he would’ve matched Vettel’s record.



Comically, Verstappen’s lock-up is still visible in Singapore, with a video of the street where it happened having been uploaded onto social media.
