Double world champion Max Verstappen further etched his name in Formula 1 history this Sunday by winning the Mexican Grand Prix and securing his 14th victory of the year<\/b>. The Dutchman has thus broken the record for most wins in a single season, surpassing Michael Schumacher’s 13 victories in 2004, as well as Sebastian Vettel’s tally in 2013. However, it should be noted that both Germans achieved these feats in fewer races than in 2022.<\/p>\n
The Red Bull driver was able to rely on a relatively untroubled race, taking advantage of Mercedes’ poor strategy with the hard tires, while the German team made a strong comeback this weekend. Max Verstappen finished the Mexican Grand Prix ahead of his rival from last year, Lewis Hamilton, and his teammate Sergio Perez.”<\/p>\n In Austin last weekend, Max Verstappen set another record<\/b> by becoming the first driver to win nine races in a single season without starting from pole position. The Dutchman surpasses Lewis Hamilton in this statistic, who achieved eight victories in 2019 starting from further back than first place.<\/p>\n The Dutchman is already fifth, tied with Fernando Alonso, in the ranking of victories in all Formula 1 seasons combined. He has won 33 races, the same number as the Spaniard, and is behind Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton, who holds the absolute record with 103 wins.<\/p>\n 14 wins in a season \ud83c\udfc6 @Max33Verstappen<\/a> makes #F1<\/a> history \ud83e\udd81 pic.twitter.com\/GCYKdX1Gro<\/a><\/p>\n\n
