With the victory at the DutchGP 2022, Max Verstappen has now won 10 out of 15 races this season. 4 more wins in the upcoming 7 races and he breaks another record. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Trade offer: Max only wins 3 of the next 7 races, but Hamilton wins at least one of those races and continues his streak of seasons with a win.
If Max wins 6 out of 7 he will have highest % wins in a season of all time, marginally beating out Michael (72.22 vs 72.72). Though that is an amazingly tall order and I don't think will be met. EDIT: That's false as ascari had 75% in 1952, wittth 6 out of 8, so max needs to win all 7 remaining races to get 77.27%
Obviously Max's career hasn't ended.....but here's where he stands currently. number of wins and winning percantage while in F1. Image Unavailable, Please Login
If Max wins all the championships until 2028 (as some expect), he will surely break all the records existing. Why not ?
A win and a P2 in the next 2 races is all he needs. Leclerc needs a win in every single race and fastest lap, and win the sprint race... If Max wins in singapore and charles DNF, Max is WDC as well.
Many different combos and outcomes can happen the next 6 races. But Im sure he will be WDC, I was very excited for SF in the beginning of the season and was hoping for a great fight, but that is over now. I like the fact that Max and RB can do it again this year , Its like putting a big FU stamp to Merc. Me likey. HAHA
They built the car (characteristics) more around Max, unlike Ferrari who do not prioritize any driver. Feel pity for Perez, who looks like another "Bottas" if anyone still remembers Hamilton-Bottas era.
It's worked in the past--->Schumacher, Alonso, Vettel, Lewis and now Max. Ferrari is trying to suit both drivers, which we all know Leclerc is better than Sainz so they should design the car around Leclerc.
It only increases the performance gap with the other driver, and then the team pretends they don't understand why he can't keep up.
Yes But such unequality when one is a bit slower, while the other one is winning races and a title (because of better tailored car), does not matter. Red-Bull now is, and in the next few years will still be all about Max. It was their natural intent and investment in Max which pays off and they are happy with that.
