F1 | Red Bull, Verstappen equals Senna: “I want to continue winning”

Verstappen like Senna. Having exceeded that number, forty-one victories, already others before him: Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Alain Prost. At just twenty-five years old, the Dutch driver continues to write the history of this sport, and to date, only his triumphs can be told about him. A driver who makes his debut at 17, wins his first race as soon as he turns XNUMX, is nicknamed Mad Max, but that fury turns into surgical calculation. The fight with Hamilton for the world championship shapes him, calms him, sculpts the driver who today is dominating the sport without any error. There Red Bull he put his own effort into it RB19, yet another creation by Adrian Newey which however remains sixth in the hands of the other driver of the team, Sergio Perez. There is still a long story to be written for this young boy, but equaling a legend like Ayrton always has an impact, even for those who, like Verstappen, do not show their emotions.

“Obviously I'm very happy to have won here in Canada. It wasn't an easy race, getting the tires up to temperature proved to be more complicated than expected - revealed Verstappen - this is our hundredth victory, it's an incredible moment for the team, but the work doesn't end here, now we want to get to 200! Ever since I was little, and already riding karts, I have always dreamed of becoming a Formula 1 driver, but I never imagined I would win so much. To match Ayrton Senna is incredible and I'm proud. We hope to win a lot more in the future, I don't want to stop here."
