Verstappen achieves a record-breaking 10th successive F1 win

Max Verstappen and Red Bull came out on top in a battle against the Ferraris to secure victory in Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix and make more F1 history – the Dutchman moving ahead of Sebastian Vettel with 10 wins on the bounce and the team stretching their winning run to 15 races.

“I never would have believed [10 wins in a row] was possible, but we had to work for it today and that was definitely a lot more fun,” said race-winner Verstappen. “We had good pace, we were good on the tyres, but [Ferrari] had a lot of top speed.

“It was so hard to get close and make the move into Turn 1. I had to force [Sainz] into a mistake and luckily it came at some point where he locked up, and I had better traction out of Turn 2, which was good, so we could do my own race.”
