Verstappen misses opportunity to SMASH Hamilton F1 record in Australia

The Brit is atop a multitude of statistics that will take a very long time for anyone to match, including his seven world championships and 103 race victories.

Which record stands?
Even that could take time to bear its fruits, meaning that his current records will have to stand the test of time.
A hectic Australian Grand Prix saw Hamilton retire with an engine failure early in the race but also saw Max Verstappen retire on lap three with a brake issue.
One of the biggest shocks of the season saw Verstappen’s streak of 43 consecutive points finishes come to an end, five short of eclipsing Hamilton’s record set between 2018 and 2020.
It’s hard to see where that run may have been halted through means other than a mechanical failure - but it helps protect Hamilton’s record for at least another two seasons one would suspect.
