French racer Esteban Ocon has unlocked a new achievement with regards to his career statistics in Formula 1. The Alpine recruit has been recorded to have covered the most number of laps this season, and he has surpassed all the heavyweights in the list, such as current World Champion and WDC leader Max Verstappen, and 7-time title winner Lewis Hamilton.
The Normandy native recently celebrated his 26th birthday at his hometown in Évreux, surrounded with family and friends. In fact, his close friend and F1 colleague Mick Schumacher was also present at the birthday party. The news about Esteban Ocon’s record number of laps covered in the current F1 2022 season was revealed following an announcement by Motorsport.com and the data has allegedly been compiled by Motorsport Stats.
Esteban Ocon’s statistics show that he has driven his Alpine for a whopping 934 laps so far in this season. As only six races are left for the end of this year’s F1 Championship, it is possible that Ocon will take away the crown for being the most consistent racer in 2022. And the suprising fact is that the French racer has surpassed Max Verstappen, who did not even come in the top 2 of the list!

Max Verstappen fails to reach top 2 as Esteban Ocon reigns in the consistency rankings
Max Verstappen has reigned supreme over the entirety of this season as the Dutchman is on his way to defend his F1 World Championship title for a second time. But it must be remembered that he has failed to be the most consistent racer till now as the number of laps that he has raced is only 928. On the other hand, McLaren racer Lando Norris has shown brilliant consistency as he took away the second spot in the standings of which driver put in the most number of laps in this season.
Max Vertappen’s low lap count is mainly because of the engine problems and reliability issues that Red Bull ran into, during the initial few races of this season. But they could, thankfully, fix their RB-18 to help Max Verstappen build up the huge 116-point gap that is there between him and his closest rival Charles Leclerc in the WDC Standings right now.
