Max Verstappen was left feeling overjoyed after making F1 history for himself and Red Bull with another commanding run to victory in Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix.
Verstappen made it back-to-back wins at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to secure Red Bull’s landmark 100th triumph in the sport, having contributed 41 of them since stepping up to the team from Toro Rosso (now AlphaTauri) in 2016.

That tally of 41 also gave Verstappen a piece of personal history as he drew level with Ayrton Senna in the all-time F1 winners’ list – the pair now sitting tied for fifth behind Alain Prost (51), Sebastian Vettel (53), Michael Schumacher (91) and Lewis Hamilton (103).
Speaking after he jumped out of the car, Verstappen said: “Of course, I’m very happy right now. It was not a very straightforward race, because the tyres were not really getting in their window.
“It was very cold today compared to Friday and we were sliding around quite a bit, but we made it work. To win again [and] win the 100th Grand Prix for the team is incredible.”
