Red Bull driver Max Verstappen finished first at the Mexican Grand Prix to claim his record-setting 14th win of the season on Sunday.
The 25-year-old’s 14th victory of the season sees him pass Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel for the most race wins in a single season in Formula One history. Earlier in October, Verstappen claimed his second career world championship at the Japanese Grand Prix, and last week he won the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, which saw him share the record for number of season race wins.
Ultimately, Mercedes’ strategy did not pay off as Hamilton could only watch Verstappen increase his lead, and team boss Toto Wolff later acknowledged over the radio that it was “maybe not the right tire choice,” according to the BBC. But for all of Verstappen and Red Bull’s achievements this year, there was a shadow cast over the team on Sunday after it was sanctioned for a budget cap breach last year.
