Verstappen is looking at record-breaking 10th win in a row

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen can reach a record 10th Formula One win in a row on Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix.

The Dutch driver, 138 points clear of team mate Sergio Perez after 13 of 22 races, won at home in Zandvoort last Sunday to equal Sebastian Vettel’s 2013 nine streak, also with Red Bull.

Verstappen won the Italian Grand Prix from seventh on the starting grid last year with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc on pole but finishing second and his chances are looking good ahead of the race.

Red Bull have won every race so far this season, 14 in a row including the 2022 finale in Abu Dhabi, and are again favorites at Monza’s circuit – the track with highest average speed on the calendar.
