P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Max Verstappen would have matched his record for 10 consecutive victories had he not retired from the Australian Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen was close to matching his record of 10 consecutive victories, achieved with a win at the Italian Grand Prix last season. His streak was ended by Carlos Sainz in the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix, marking Red Bull’s only below-average performance of the prior campaign. After finishing fifth in Singapore last year, Verstappen went on another nine-race winning streak, which halted in the recent race at Melbourne’s Albert Park Circuit. Sainz once again halted his streak, following Verstappen’s retirement due to a brake-related fire. It remains to be seen if Verstappen will surpass his record of 10 victories in a row.
