The seventh round of the 2022 season is the Monaco GP. It would be the 68th Formula One race in the narrow street circuit of the principality. However, many records will break in the upcoming race, and many drivers will also set some new milestones in their careers.

Charles Leclerc winning the Monaco race would make him the first Monegasque to win a home race. Further, Max Verstappen will set the personal best record of four consecutive race wins if he wins this week. Also, Verstappen winning the race would make him the ninth driver ever to win Monaco GP back-to-back. Max scoring a podium this week will also equal the number of podiums that Sebastian Vettel scored with Red Bull.

Even Vettel can make a record, but Lewis Hamilton would also compete for this record. If they finish on the podium, they will become the 22nd driver in F1 history to win a race twice on the same date. The four-time world champion won Monaco GP on May 29 back in 2011 and Hamilton in 2016. If Seb wins the race, he might also become the only driver to score 200 points in Monaco.

Hamilton completing the 41 laps in Monaco will take third place from Michael Schumacher on the list of most F1 laps raced. Also, Lewis finishing the race will mean seeing the checkered flag in the principality for the 15th time, the most in F1 history. Further, Fernando Alonso completing the race this week will give him the top spot on the list of most racing laps at the Monaco Grand Prix.

More milestones and records at the Monaco GP

Esteban Ocon would make his 96th race start in Monaco. It will also place him at P10 at the most starts for a French F1 driver. As for the German drivers, Vettel and Mick Schumacher, starting the GP would be the 845th race in F1 history to feature a German driver.

Many fans see Valtteri Bottas as the present-day Rubens Barrichello. And Bottas finishing on the podium will make him equal to Rubinho as a non-champion driver with the most F1 podiums. Mercedes power units can equal Ford Cosworth’s 13 victories at Monaco, the most victories for a constructor in the principality.
