Should Max Verstappen win the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, he will overtake another of Lewis Hamilton’s career records: Win percentage.
Since their epic, and rather controversial, 2021 title battle, their fortunes have split with Hamilton not winning a race since Saudi Arabia that year, whilst Verstappen has won 39 times and picked up his three world titles, and looks set for a fourth this year.
As a result, Hamilton’s win percentage has dived over the past two-and-a-half years from the 35.88% it was after his 103rd win in his 287th start in December 2021 in Jeddah to the 30.53% it is today after a 50th grand prix without a win in China last time out.
By contrast, Verstappen’s rise has been evident, with 58 wins from his 190 starts. That is a win percentage of 30.53%.
Should Verstappen win Miami, as he has in the first two years of the race, that will climb to 30.89%, whereas Hamilton’s will fall further to 30.47%.
