Max Verstappen achieved his 49th victory in F1 at the 2023 F1 Round 18 Qatar GP. He believes he can surpass Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel’s F1 win record. Max Verstappen took second place in the sprint race at the F1 Qatar GP, winning his third Drivers’ World Championship and his 14th Grand Prix win of the season.
Prost achieved 51 wins during his career, while Vettel recorded 53 wins before retiring at the end of the 2022 season. Further ahead of Vettel are Michael Schumacher, who has 91 wins, and Lewis Hamilton, who holds the F1 all-time record with 103 wins. Verstappen is still scheduled to race until the end of the 2028 season, and if he maintains his current form, he could move closer to his all-time win list. “I know there’s a pretty big difference between third and second. Maybe in my career I’ll end up somewhere in the middle. I hope so,” Verstappen told the media. “But it depends on what happens in the next few races and in the next few years. I don’t know how long this situation will last. “I’m enjoying the moment and I think that’s also very important. , I’ve achieved more than I ever dreamed of, and I’ve set the goals I wanted to achieve, so I’m enjoying the moment.” Verstappen’s approach remains unchanged, with Verstappen already breaking Vettel’s record for most consecutive wins, and Red Bull also competing in Japan. He won his sixth constructors’ title in GP. Asked if he would change his approach with five races remaining, Verstappen said: “Nothing in particular. For example, in the sprint we only needed three points to win the championship, but we still wanted to win.” I have it, so I’ll try my best to win again when I go to the next race.” “I know that the others are catching up a little bit, so it’s a pretty tight race here and there, but the idea is pretty much the same.” “In other words, any battle doesn’t suddenly become risky. I’m satisfied with where I am right now.”
