This prestigious success will not have been enhanced by a great battle on the track, but marked by the photo of a podium with 11 world champion titles, with Fernando Alonso (2) and Lewis Hamilton (7). As a bonus, the Dutchman also offered his team a 100th success, which only Williams (114), Mercedes (125), McLaren (183) and Ferrari (242) have achieved in Formula 1.

The new goal is 200
“Maybe we’ll talk about a new contract thanks to thathe smiled at a press conference. More seriously, it’s a great achievement for the team. We knew this was the first opportunity, of course, to do so. And I’m glad it’s done. We won 100. But again, I hope we win more than 100. So the new goal is 200.”
The bomb dropped by Verstappen: he dreams of Ferrari, in F1 and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
The double world champion holds more than ever the comparison with the greatest. His win rate (23.98%) is similar to Senna’s (25.47%) but the Red Bull darling matched the Brazilian at just 25, as ‘Magic Senna’ notched his last win at 41 years.
“I hate comparing different generationshe explained. All I can say is that when I was little, I was in karting, I dreamed of being a Formula 1 driver and I never imagined winning 41 Grands Prix. So of course to be level with Ayrton is incredible. I’m proud of it but I hope it doesn’t end there.”
223 laps in the lead!
Just behind Nigel Mansell (235) but above all Ayrton Senna, doubly present in this ranking (237 and 264). Alberto Ascari had raised the record to 304 consecutive laps in 1952. But since the next Grand Prix, in Austria, will have 71 laps, the ogre Verstappen could still very quickly surpass the giant Ayrton.
