The Milton Keynes team equaled McLaren's record set in 1988

Max Verstappen clinched yet another victory on Sunday at the British Grand Prix, which was Red Bull’s 11th straight win, underlining the team’s dominance.

With it they equal a record set from McLaren in 1988 and have a chance to better it next time in Hungary.

In the post race, the Dutchman took a moment to heap praise on his team’s spectacular achievement.

“Of course, very happy that we won again,” he said. “I mean, 11 wins in a row for the team, I think that’s pretty incredible, but it wasn’t straightforward today.”

“Once I’d passed Lando, it took me a few laps to cool down the tyres, and after that I think we had good pace,” added Verstappen. “I think the last 10, 15 laps on that stint, we were nine seconds in the lead again, which I think was very good.”

Verstappen registered his 6th consecutive win, a feat achieved only by 4 other drivers in the past – Alberto Ascari, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg. The record, jointly held by Ascari and Vettel is 9 and in the current situation it looks more than likely that Verstappen would top that as well.
