Formula 1: Which records can Max Verstappen and Red Bull break during the remainder of the 2023 season?

Most successive winsBy winning in Belgium in the final race before the summer break, Verstappen became just the second driver to have claimed eight successive F1 victories. The Spa triumph took him clear of Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg and Alberto Ascari, who each had recorded seven straight triumphs.Verstappen has the chance to match Sebastian Vettel's record of nine consecutive wins, which the German set in a Red Bull during his title-winning 2013 campaign.Verstappen's opportunity to equal Vettel comes at his home race - the Dutch Grand Prix, and if he is successful in Zandvoort, he will then have the chance to establish a new mark of 10 at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza a week later.
