Lewis Hamilton holds the current longest record - a whopping 48 races. F1
F1 records: The drivers with the longest points-scoring streaks in historyPoints very much mean prizes in F1, and while they are given to more places than ever before, they are still the key currency come the end of a season.
He fell eight points behind Vettel in that year’s title race, but his whopping 48-race points streak involved 30 race victories . He scored in every race on the way to title glory in 2017 however, and after winning around Paul Ricard in 2018, a fuel pressure issue at the next round halted Hamilton’s remarkable run – at that time, already an F1 record.
Given the smaller calendar back in the early 2000s, Michael Schumacher’s longest points-scoring streak ended up straddling across three separate F1 seasons – all of which were title-winning. Alas, just the 23 races in a row will have to do on this occasion, though. But this time of Alonso’s career would see him drive seemingly far beyond the capabilities of the Ferrari cars which were underneath him, ending up scoring more than twice the points tally of team-mate Felipe Massa by the end of 2011, and mounting an unlikely title challenge the following year.
But where 2017 had been plagued by retirements and incidents, it was the second half of 2018 where the Dutchman really began to find his stride and consistency, with this particular 21-race run containing finishes all inside the top five, and three victories to boot. After contact with Rosberg at Spa in 2014 prompted Hamilton to ask to retire from the race, he picked up his title charge at Monza with what would begin a run of six wins in the final seven races of the season on his way to his second World Championship.
