With Red Bull and Max Verstappen bringing in more and more trophies, the team has had to order a new trophy cabinet. This seems like a very unusual and good problem for a team to have. Christian Horner seems to be happy dealing with such problems rather than other ones.
“Yeah, but it’s a nice problem to have!” Christian Horner started when he was asked about purchasing a new trophy cabinet.
“I’m superstitious and I don’t like empty cabinets. We’ve already ordered another cabinet and we’ve already filled it. So we’ll deal with that at the end of the season. Max, what he’s doing, he’s breaking records, he’s driving at an unbelievable level. I don’t think there’s anybody in the world right now that could beat Max Verstappen in this car, that’s for sure.”

“I think you have to recognize and applaud what Max is doing at the moment. It’s very special at the moment to have achieved what he achieved. We shouldn’t detract from that in any way. In sport, very rarely things like this happen. I think it’s a golden moment for him and a golden moment for the team.”
Ever since Max Verstappen joined Red Bull, he has won 47 races and achieved 91 podiums. Most of his wins and podiums have come in the last 3 years. In 2021, he successfully battled against Lewis Hamilton for the title. In 2022 and 2023, he has been dominating the sport with other teams struggling to keep up.
This year, he has already broken the record for most consecutive wins. The Italian Grand Prix marked Verstappen’s tenth consecutive race victory. This has led fans to wonder what other record will he break.
What records can Max Verstappen break in the coming F1 races?
The Dutch Champion has already broken the record for most consecutive wins. From the way things look, he looks ready to break yet another record for most wins in a season. Amusingly, he already holds the record for this. He won 15 races last year and looks more than good to break it once again this year.
He and the team are also on the verge of breaking the record for most victories as a team. They have already broken the record for the most consecutive victories as a team. They have won 15 races in a row after the Italian Grand Prix.
Mercedes currently holds the record for most victories as a team with 19. There is no doubt that Red Bull and Max Verstappen have a very good chance of breaking this record as well. They could also be the first team in Formula 1 history to have won all the races this season.

The record for the highest win percentage is also one that can be broken by Red Bull and Max Verstappen. The current constructor record is held by McLaren when they achieved a 93.8% win rate by winning 15 out of 16 races during the 1988 season. Red Bull so far has a 100% win rate this season.
The highest win percentage lies with Alberto Ascari who achieved a win rate of 75% in 1952 where he won 6 out of the 8 races. Max Verstappen’s current win rate this season is 85%. It seems likely that he will break this record as well.
