As Verstappen has emerged as the dominant force in recent Formula 1 history, securing 36 out of the last 57 Grand Prix wins for Red Bull, the Dutch driver’s supremacy is unquestionable. With the prospect of claiming his tenth consecutive victory at the Italian Grand Prix, Verstappen could shatter the record for the most successive wins by a single driver.
In an interview with French television station Canal+, George Russell articulated his eagerness to share the track with Max Verstappen. Drawing inspiration from his time alongside Lewis Hamilton, Russell highlighted the value of competing against the best drivers to elevate his own skills. He expressed, “You want to go against the best, test yourself against the best, learn from the best.”
