The three-time world champion took his 50th career title in the “royal race”.
The Red Bull stable and its driver Max Verstappen are completely dominating Formula 1 in the 2023 season. We remind you that the representative of the Netherlands has already won the championship title.
Already in the champion’s ranks, Verstappen won the US Grand Prix, held in Austin, America at the Circuit of the Americas. For the 26-year-old driver, this victory is the 50th of his career. According to this indicator, he is in fifth place, just one victory behind the legendary Alain Prost. Max became only the fifth driver in Formula 1 history to achieve this level.

Let’s remember that Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc took second and third place in the US Grand Prix. However, it was later found that both were disqualified. As a result of the inspection, it turned out that the slats under the bottom of their cars were thinner than the established standard. Lando Norris was second and Carlos Sainz was third.
We remind you that earlier it became known that Formula 1 has significantly increased the fines for pilots.
