Italy: Max Verstappen wins Italian GP for record 10th straight F1 victory

Monza: Runaway Formula One leader Max Verstappen secured a record 10th straight win with victory at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, with a Red Bull one-two on Ferrari’s home track.

“That’s a nice stat,” Verstappen said on team radio immediately after the win.

Another flawless performance from the two-time defending champion saw Verstappen beat teammate Sergio Pérez by 6.064 seconds. Carlos Sainz Jr. was third, 11.193 behind Verstappen and less than two tenths of a second ahead of Charles Leclerc as the two Ferrari drivers battled for the final spot on Monza’s iconic podium.

“I never would have believed that was possible but we had to work for it today and that made it definitely a lot more fun,” Verstappen said.
