In an electrifying race at Monza, Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen took his 10th consecutive victory in Formula 1, setting a new record for consecutive victories. The win came after Verstappen capitalized on a crucial mistake by Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, who started the race in pole position.
Sainz led Verstappen for the first 14 laps, until a slip under braking opened the door for the Dutch driver. Verstappen took the opportunity and moved ahead, leaving Sainz to battle for second with Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez. Sainz eventually relinquished second place to Perez, but managed to hold off his own team-mate, Charles Leclerc, to take third.
Other notable performances included George Russell and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton. Russell finished fifth after overcoming a time penalty, while Hamilton showed strategic skill, finishing sixth despite an additional penalty for a race incident.
The new milestone takes Verstappen ahead of Sebastian Vettel’s previous streak of nine wins in 2013. “Winning it was difficult but very rewarding,” Verstappen commented after the race.
Ferrari were initially hoping for a 1-2 on home soil, but those aspirations were dashed by Verstappen’s stellar performance. The win also cements Red Bull Racing’s already impressive season, extending its winning streak to 14 races this year.
