Max Verstappen and impressive milestones after GP Las Vegas

After GP Las Vegas, it can be seen that even though Max Verstappen has won the world championship, he still has a strong desire to win.

With victory at GP Las Vegas in the first time it was held, Dutch racer Max Verstappen had the 53rd race victory of his career. Verstappen also officially surpassed his senior Sebastian Vettel to rank 3rd on the rankings of drivers with the most race wins in F1 history.

At this time, there are only two drivers ranked above Verstappen: Michael Schumacher with 91 race victories, and the leader is Lewis Hamilton with 103 race victories.

If he continues his impressive form like the past seasons, in 2024 alone, Verstappen will surpass the legendary Schumacher to rise to 2nd place on this list. However, to be able to rise to first place, in addition to playing well, Verstappen also needs to hope that Hamilton does not have any more race victories.

If that scenario happens, Verstappen could surpass Hamilton’s record in the 2026 F1 season. This is entirely possible, as Hamilton is now even having difficulty competing for positions with his predecessor. teammate George Russell, let alone competing for a stage win.
