Top F1 Records that Mercedes can beat

Most consecutive race wins for a team in a season

Senna and Prost's acclaimed albeit controversial alliance got McLaren all the plaudits in 1988

As discussed previously, by winning at Baku recently Mercedes made it four back-to-back wins in 2019. But the record for the most number of consecutive race wins (by a team) in F1 belongs not to Ferrari or Williams or any other team but to McLaren.

It was back in 1988, with Senna being at his peak and in a truly dismissive form that McLaren bagged 11 straight wins, something none of their on-field opponents at that point in time (including Williams, Ferrari, Lotus-Renault) were able to match or contain.

Back in the 1988 F1 season, Ayrton Senna clinched the first of his three world titles. That said, in what turned out as a truly memorable streak, the inflammable albeit noted partnership of Senna and Prost won 11 races from the very start, perhaps something that the likes of Berger, Piquet, and Mansell may not have expected.

And it was not before the twelfth Grand Prix of that season, won by Gerhard Berger at Italy, that this sublime winning streak would come to an end. Interestingly, Berger won the contest in a Ferrari.

So can Mercedes topple another unique record and go past the enviable achievement that's currently in the grasp of McLaren?
