The Dutch Grand Prix was particularly special as it saw Verstappen equal four-time champion Sebastian Vettel's record of nine consecutive wins.
The two-time champion has won eleven out of the thirteen races of the 2023 season and will be hoping to continue his winning streak in the upcoming Italian Grand Prix at the iconic Monza track. He is currently leading the drivers' standings with 339 points, a 138 point lead on his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez who is currently in second position.
