Verstappen set to break Hamilton's F1 record: The longest-serving drivers at one team

Max Verstappen’s decision to stay with Red Bull until the end of 2030 could let him pass Lewis Hamilton’s and Michael Schumacher’s long-standing records for driver-team tenure. The four-time world champion first joined Red Bull’s senior team in 2016 and has already raced for the team for 15 seasons by the time his new deal ends, potentially creating the longest driver-team relationship in Formula 1 history. The article contrasts his prospective record with Hamilton and Mercedes (12 seasons from 2013 to 2024, ending with a move to Ferrari in 2025) and Schumacher and Ferrari (11 seasons from 1996 to 2006), along with other top examples.
