Red Bull matches McLaren's 1988 record run of 11 consecutive victories as Max Verstappen tops the British Grand Prix for his sixth win in a row of the Formula One season.
SILVERSTONE, England – Max Verstappen won the British Grand Prix to stretch his Formula One lead to 99 points on Sunday, July 9, as unbeaten Red Bull equalled McLaren’s 1988 record run of 11 victories in a row.
The double world champion bagged the fastest lap bonus point as well to pull almost four race wins clear of his closest rival and teammate Sergio Perez, who finished sixth after starting 15th. Alex Albon continued resurgent Williams’s strong recent showing with eighth, ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and last year’s winner Carlos Sainz.
The Red Bull did not disappear into the distance, however, with Norris still within a second of Verstappen five laps later and the McLaren drivers agreeing to hold position for the benefit of the team and to manage the tires.“I did what I could. I brought the fight to Max for as long as possible,” said Norris, whose team won 11 races in a row in 1988 with the late triple champion Ayrton Senna and Frenchman Alain Prost.
Norris, on hards, and Hamilton, on softs, went wheel to wheel – fighting hard but fairly – until the McLaren pulled away to finish some three seconds clear of the Mercedes driver at the end.
