After tying Sebastian Vettel's consecutive wins record in the Dutch Grand Prix, it seems like a formality that Max Verstappen will become the sole record holder at Monza.
ZANDVOORT, NETHERLANDS - AUGUST 27: Max Verstappen of the Netherlands driving the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB19 during the F1 Grand Prix of The Netherlands at Circuit Park Zandvoort on August 27, 2023 in Zandvoort, Netherlands. After tying Sebastian Vettel’s consecutive wins record in the Dutch Grand Prix, it seems like a formality that Max Verstappen will become the sole record holder at Monza.
Verstappen enters the Italian Grand Prix as a -450 favorite to get his 10th straight win. The Monza track is incredibly well-suited to Red Bull’s car design and it’ll be a shock if anyone other than Verstappen or his teammate Sergio Perez wins the race. Vettel became the F1 driver with the most consecutive wins in 2010 and 2011 when he won the final three races of the 2010 season and the first six races of 2011 while racing for Red Bull. And now it appears that Verstappen’s win streak could go on indefinitely given his dominance so far this season.
Verstappen is 138 points ahead of Perez and could conceivably clinch a third straight title with five or six races to go — especially if he keeps winning. Verstappen got his first win at Monza a season ago and led 34 of the race’s 53 laps. With Ferrari slower than it was a season ago and Mercedes’ car not as suited for tracks with lots of high-speed sections like Monza, it’ll take a catastrophe for Red Bull not to be in victory lane.
