VERSTAPPEN BREAKS SINGLE SEASON WIN RECORD IN MEXICAN GRAND PRIX TRIUMPH
Max Verstappen has eclipsed the record for the most Formula 1 wins in a season with a triumphant display at the Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Dutch driver took the lead from pole position and fended off a threat from
Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes to record his landmark 14th 2022 victory. The two-time World champion was thrilled with the performance. The race winner said: “I was never really interested in stats. I just live in the moment. I just try to do the best I can every weekend, win the races. That for me is the most important – that I go home and can say I maximised everything.
“But a lot of F1 depends on your package and I am just enjoying the moment.
It is an amazing season and
I am very happy with winning so many races.”
The win comes at the end of a tumultuous week for Red Bull, which was fined £6.07 million in the wake of a cost-cap breach during the 2021 campaign.
It has also been slapped with development restrictions.
