LONDON : Max Verstappen is rewriting the record books, ready to overtake some of Formula One's all-time greats in what looks ominously like becoming the most one-sided of seasons.
Fleeting hopes that Verstappen's Mexican team mate Sergio Perez could put up a fight seem to have evaporated, with Verstappen already a mighty 53 points clear after seven of 22 races. No team has ever won every race in a season - McLaren won all but one in 1988 with Senna and Prost - but Verstappen recognised in Barcelona that Red Bull could do that, even if it looked unlikely.Verstappen set the record of 15 wins in a season last year and he already has five in 2023, including the last three, with 15 more races to be run and no immediate end in sight to the domination.
Sebastian Vettel's 53 might even be within range, and Verstappen has already overtaken the German as Red Bull's 'winningest' driver, leaving only Michael Schumacher and Hamilton ahead.
