Max Verstappen broke the Formula One record for wins in a season with his 14th victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix on Sunday, breaking the mark shared by Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
Schumacher set the record in 2004, Vettel tied it in 2013, and Verstappen was tied with the Germans for one week after winning at the Circuit of the Americas last week. Verstappen swept the North American portion of this year’s F1 schedule, winning in Miami, Montreal, and now Mexico City.
The Dutchman retained his F1 world championship with four races left in the season, clinched the Red Bull constructors championship with three races left in the season, and has two races remaining to completely demolish the wins-in-a-season record.
Red Bull has now won nine races in a row, matching the team record set in 2013. With Verstappen and Sergio Perez, the team has won 16 of 21 F1 races this season, including victories in Monaco and Singapore.
