Max Verstappen truly broke new ground during the ongoing Formula 1 season, and his latest race was the most impressive one yet. The Red Bull driver scored his 10th consecutive win at the Italian Grand Prix, setting a new record for most consecutive wins in the history of Formula 1. Despite losing the pole position to Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr., Verstappen managed to stay on top of his game at the Italian Grand Prix. Sainz did a great job holding him off for 14 laps, but an error from the Spaniard gave Verstappen a chance to make a comeback and lift the trophy in Monza. Verstappen's 10th win in a row helped him break Sebastian Vettel's record of nine consecutive wins, achieved with Red Bull back in 2013. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was as impressed by his performance as everyone at the Monza Circuit and congratulated him for setting this historic record. "You have to recognize and applaud what Max is doing at the moment. It's very special. We shouldn't detract from that in any way. In sport, very rarely things like this happen, and it's a golden moment for him and certainly a golden moment for the team," said Horner.
