JAKARTA - Formula 1 (F1) racer Max Verstappen broke the winning record for one season. This was achieved after he won the F1 GP Mexico at the Autodromo Circuit Hermanos Rodriguez on Monday, October 31 morning WIB.
In the 21st series race of the season, Verstappen defeated Lewis Hamilton with a lead of 15.186 seconds. This victory at GP Mexico made Verstappen collect 14 wins in the 2022 season.
The number of wins collected by Verstappen led to a record-breaking season. Previously, this record was achieved by Michael Schumacher in 2004 and Sebastian Vettel (2013) with 13 wins.
Verstappen's notes are also considered special because in 2022 there will be more series, namely 23 series. While in 2004 there were only 18 series and 19 series in 2013.
"It's been an incredible year, we obviously enjoyed it, and we will try to get more wins," Verstappen was quoted as saying by Reuters.
The advantage at GP Mexico is not only a good record for Verstappen, but also for the Red Bull factory team. Because this is the ninth consecutive victory that has been won from 16 wins during the season.
With two races remaining at the Brazilian GP on November 13 and the Abu Dhabi GP on November 20, Verstappen still has a chance to add points. Moreover, currently, he has collected 416 points that lead 136 points over Red Bull Racing team-mate Sergio Perez.
