Verstappen equals F1 icon after record-breaking 16th win of season

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


The triple World Champion has broken his own record of most Grand Prix wins in a single season in Mexico City – and equalled an F1 great in the process.

Max Verstappen’s win in the Mexico City Grand Prix was his 16th of the season and the 51st of his career, matching Alain Prost’s record. Verstappen broke the record for the most wins in a season in 2022 with 15 victories and has exceeded that this year, including a streak of 10 consecutive wins. If he wins just one more race, Verstappen will surpass Alberto Ascari’s record of the highest percentage of wins in a season. He could achieve an 86.36% win rate if he wins the remaining three races in Sao Paulo, Las Vegas, and Abu Dhabi. By winning in Mexico, Verstappen has reached 51 wins, the same as Prost, but in 17 fewer races. Verstappen, known for not being a fan of statistics, may not be too concerned with these records.
