Mexico City.- Max Verstappen continues to write his story with Red Bull.
With his brilliant victory at the Miami Grand Prix, where he rallied from ninth to first place, the reigning Formula One champion tied Sebastian Vettel for the top winners with the energy drink team.
Those 38 victories marked the golden age of the German from 2009 to 2014, since it was in this period that he added his 4 world titles (2010 to 2013) with the Milton Keynes team.
Verstappen is on his way to becoming one of the best drivers in recent years after beating Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton in 2021 to get his first crown and dominate at will in 2022 to secure the two-time championship.
In the next few races, the chances of Max overtaking Seb are high, so I would confirm his number 1 status in the Grand Circus and Red Bull.
After Vettel and Verstappen, is the Australian Mark Webber, with 9 first places, a figure that barely represents 25 percent of the total productivity of the Austrian team.
In that same direction is Sergio Pérez, a direct rival in Max’s season.
The Mexican has recorded 6 visits to the top of the podium, of which 5 have been with Red Bull and, if he adds two more victories, he would equal Daniel Ricciardo.
If Checo’s ambitions this season reach him for another 4 victories, he would reach Webber, getting into the Top 3 of the best drivers of the energy drink team, in just three years.
