Who will stop Max Verstappen?
The two-time defending Formula 1 champion easily set a new F1 record with his 10th race win in a row on Sunday in the Italian Grand Prix. Verstappen had to chase the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz through the opening laps, but once he got past Sainz as the Ferrari’s tires wore out quicker than Verstappen’s Red Bull, it was smooth sailing the rest of the way.
The victory also extends a record for Red Bull. The win is the 15th consecutive for the team dating back to the final race of 2022. Sergio Perez, who finished second to Verstappen on Sunday, won the second and fourth races of the 2023 season. Verstappen won the 2022 season finale in Abu Dhabi in November, the 2023 season opener in Bahrain and also in Melbourne before starting his 10-race win streak.
Sainz came home in third ahead of Leclerc in fourth in what’s Ferrari’s home race at Monza. It was still an excellent result for Ferrari as they were able to be ahead of both Mercedes drivers in fifth and sixth. George Russell finished ahead of Lewis Hamilton while Alex Albon was a strong seventh in his Williams ahead of Lando Norris and Fernando Alonso.The Sept. 24 race in Singapore could be an opportunity for a driver in a non-Red Bull car to win.
