F1’s runaway leader Verstappen takes dominance to a new level. MORE:
Verstappen won both the main F1 race and the shorter sprint race from pole position at the Austrian Grand Prix, topped every section of qualifying and led the only practice session on his way to collecting a fifth straight win, and a seventh in nine races so far this season.
Verstappen crushed the competition to such an extent at his team's home track in Spielberg that he even surprised himself.He was probably the only one who didn't expect it, for Verstappen's numbers are piling up as fast as his peerless driving. With 13 races left, starting next weekend at the British GP, it is realistic to consider Verstappen could beat his own F1 record of 15 victories from last year and surpass Prost in the process.
Doing so would put him one win behind the now-retired Sebastian Vettel and over halfway toward seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton’s record of 103 career wins. Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, who is also 25 and fiercely raced against Verstappen in their junior karting days, described his dominance this way.
Verstappen likes to play down his dominance and does not particularly like talking about records and achievements while he's still competing.“We could do everything we wanted," he said. “Like we planned it.”
