Max Verstappen has officially eclipsed one of Michael Schumacher’s long-standing records at Ferrari, and in doing so, the reigning World Champion is now gunning for Lewis Hamilton’s all-time milestone with Mercedes.

Following his second-place finish at the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix, Verstappen moved to 117 podiums with Red Bull, surpassing Schumacher’s tally of 116 podiums with Ferrari, which the German legend amassed during his iconic run between 1996 and 2006.

Verstappen now sits second on the all-time list for most podiums with a single team — with only Hamilton ahead of him, who has achieved a staggering 153 podiums with Mercedes.

Speaking after the race in Montreal, Verstappen didn’t hold back:

“Breaking Michael’s record is surreal — he’s a legend of the sport. But now, all eyes are on Lewis. I’m not here just to match numbers. I want to set a new standard. The GOAT conversation is open — and I’m not done yet.”

The 27-year-old Dutch driver’s podium tally now includes 65 wins, 34 second-place finishes, and 18 third-place results, all under Red Bull Racing.

While Hamilton remains the all-time leader for now, Verstappen’s current form — combined with Red Bull’s competitive machinery — suggests that the Dutch star could realistically overtake the Brit within the next couple of seasons.

The record Verstappen broke was previously considered untouchable in the post-Schumacher era, further cementing his place among F1’s elite.

The battle between Verstappen and Hamilton may now extend beyond the racetrack — and into the record books — as the Red Bull driver sets his sights on another legendary milestone.
