Speaking of Formula 1, Max Verstappen won a record-breaking 10th race in a row last week after coming out on top in a display of power from Red Bull in Monza at the Italian Grand Prix.
Reigning world champion Verstappen dominated on a beautiful day in northern Italy, leaving Ferrari fans disappointed, with Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez finishing second, ahead of home hope and polesitter Carlos Sainz.
Spaniard Sainz was more than 11 seconds back in third place, unable to withstand the power of Verstappen, the runaway leader of the Drivers’ Championship.
Verstappen extended his lead over teammate Sergio Perez at the top of the drivers’ standings to 145 points and also ensured Red Bull maintained their perfect record with 14 wins from as many GPs this season.
