Max Verstappen moved into unchartered territory with victory at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday as he became the first Formula 1 driver to win 10 consecutive races.
Verstappen has won every race since the Miami Grand Prix on May 7 and is set to join only Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton as drivers who have won a hat-trick of championships.The Dutchman surpassed Vettel's benchmark of nine straight victories set in 2013, also with Red Bull, and is looking simply unstoppable as F1 embarks on the flyaway events.
After getting his tyres up to temperature, Verstappen eased into DRS range and provided subtle example of the elite form he was in by smartly holding back at Turn 3, before completing the move on Leclerc to ensure the Ferrari didn't gain DRS on the following straight.When Verstappen lost the lead, it brought his streak of 249 consecutive laps at the front of the field to an end.
