F1 Mexico GP: Verstappen breezes to record-breaking 16th win of 2023
Max Verstappen set a new record for the most Formula 1 wins in a single season, with his 16th victory in 2023, surpassing his 15 wins from the previous year. Verstappen made a great start, overtaking both Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. at the first turn. Sergio Perez also made a strong start, but a collision with Leclerc caused damage to both cars, resulting in Perez retiring from the race. Verstappen quickly regained the lead and built a comfortable advantage over Leclerc and Sainz before making a pit stop. Ferrari decided to stay out longer to gain a tire offset against Red Bull and Mercedes. However, a crash by Kevin Magnussen brought out the red flags and disrupted the race. Verstappen was not pleased with the stoppage and had to endure a second standing start.
