Max Verstappen Beats Vettel's Record

-

After tying a record of nine races won in a row, 2022 world champion Max Verstappen released a post honoring his incredible achievement and mentioning that the plan, of course, is to keep pushing. 

Sebastian Vettel set the record of 9 consecutive wins in 2013 with Red Bull as well. 

Verstappen battled with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz for the first 15 laps of the Italian GP and led the race most of the rest of the way. He ended up snagging P1 with his teammate right behind him.

With 10 consecutive wins now and his motivation and encouragement ever growing, Verstappen could end up clinching the world title with a decent amount of races to go. 

Check back here as the season goes on to see when he might go above and beyond with those championship points.

The Imola Circuit... What we might see next year

After a two-week break, the F1 season was set to continue with a triple-header of back-to-back races. Drivers would have raced the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in the northern Italian city of Imola, but c urrently, the region is seeing devastating weather and as such, the race was officially postponed by Formula 1.  Unlike the temporary circuit we saw in Miami earlier this month, the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari has been a part of F1 since 1980. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because the circuit is named after Ferrari’s late founder Enzo Ferrari.

While the circuit has had its fair share of history, its return to the F1 schedule is more recent than some people may think as due to COVID-19 pandemic.  F1 added the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola after cancelling ...
