Oscar Piastri leads teammate Lando Norris by nine points as F1 heads into its final 10 races of the season. The Australian star isn’t just chasing his first championship—he’s on track to break a record held by two of the sport’s biggest names.
The 24-year-old McLaren driver has scored points in every single Grand Prix weekend this year, racking up an impressive six victories along the way.
But there’s something even bigger at stake.
If Piastri continues his point-scoring streak through the remaining races, he’ll surpass both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen for the most consecutive points finishes in F1 history.
Hamilton currently holds the record with 48 straight races in the points—a run that stretched from the 2018 British Grand Prix to the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Verstappen sits second with 43 consecutive points finishes between the 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and the 2024 Australian Grand Prix.
Piastri’s current streak stands at 40 races, dating back to the 2023 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
With 10 races left on the calendar, the record is within reach.
## Oscar Piastri’s 2025 Season So Far
This is easily Piastri’s best season since joining F1 in 2023. The Melbourne native currently tops the drivers’ standings during the summer break.
His season started with a nail-biter—barely finishing in the points after getting stuck in the penultimate corner when rain suddenly hit the track.
Since that shaky start, he’s been on fire.
Piastri has climbed the podium 12 times this season, including those six race wins that have pushed him ahead of Norris in the championship battle.
He hasn’t been shy about his title ambitions either. As the season heads into what promises to be an intense final stretch, the young Australian has made it clear he’s in it to win it.
The McLaren teammates are now locked in what could be one of the most thrilling championship battles in recent F1 memory.
