Max Verstappen<\/a> clinched his 2nd Monaco Grand Prix victory, his 4th of the season and 39th overall in his career, all with the Red Bull machinery.<\/p>\n

With that the Dutchman now stands in front of Sebastian Vettel’s 38 victories and is the the driver with most wins for Red Bull.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a good car for a while, you can break these kinds of numbers,” he said.<\/p>\n

“But yeah, it’s great. I mean, I would have never thought that I would be in this position in my career. When I grew up, I wanted to be a Formula 1 driver and winning these races is amazing. It’s better than I could have ever imagined, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Verstappen win count is rapidly increasing in the last two years with the 25-year old registering 29 of his 39 victories from 2021 onwards, which approximates at around 60% win rate.<\/p>\n

It underlines just how powerful the Red Bull has been and what big steps they have made after trailing massively to Mercedes in the 2014-2020 period.<\/p>\n

Next up on the road for the reigning champion is the win number of the great Ayrton Senna, who sits 5th in the all-time ranking with 41 wins, just 2 ahead of Verstappen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
