Max Verstappen has been the favorite driver of the F1 grid for the past few years. The Dutch Lion is the best driver in Formula 1 currently. He is is the reigning world champion and a four-time drivers title winner in the history of Formula 1. Max Verstappen has been driving for Red Bull since his debut in F1. He was a drive for their junior team, Toro Rosso, in 2015 and joined Red Bull Racing mid-season in 2016.

Since his entry in Red Bull Racing, Verstappen has become the number one driver for the team. He has been achieving results for Red Bull Racing with impeccable consistency. Super Max is one of the youngest achievers of Formula 1. After winning his first championship with Red Bull, he was able to bring a complete turnaround in Formula 1 racing.

For the past few seasons, Max Verstappen is the sole winner in races. He has a level of dominance that was never seen in the history of Formula 1. Paired with the expertise of Adrian Newey in 2022 and 2023, Max Verstappen rewrote the history of Formula 1 racing. Verstappen is already ahead of Red Bull Racing’s precious best driver, Sebastian Vettel.

Max Verstappen Gains Another Achievement After the Imola GP

Starting the race in second place, Max Verstappen took the lead early and won the Imola Grand Prix. His new victory had many consequences. Verstappen was able to close the gap to the championship leader fairly well. He also gave Red Bull Racing a victory in their 400th F1 race.

Verstappen’s new victory proved highly beneficial for Red Bull Racing. They now have 124 wins in their history in F1. This makes them the best team in F1 in the 21st century after Scuderia Ferrari. Red Bull Racing is also the fourth best team in Formula 1 racing now.

Although, Max Verstappen also has a personal victory to celebrate. He has already broken many records. These include some records from Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. But, with the lastest victory he is now on par with Schumacher’s best record.

Max Verstappen has 116 podiums in total for Red Bull Racing now. This puts him on par with the seven-time champion. Schumacher had also won 116 podiums in his historic and completely dominant run with Scuderia Ferrari. Ironically, some people compare Verstappen’s Red Bull career with Michael Schumacher at Ferrari. Just like Schumacher, Max Verstappen has the talent and results to mould the team around himself and win forward.
