Max Verstappen equals Ayrton Senna’s F1 wins record, Red Bull secure 100 race wins in an entertaining Canadian GP

Max Verstappen recorded his 41st F1 win at the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix, equalling Ayrton Senna's record in Formula One. Verstappen and Senna now have the joint fifth-highest wins in F1 history.

The victory is also very special for his team, Red Bull, as they marked their 100th race win today. They became the fifth team after Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, and Williams to achieve this remarkable feat.

Max Verstappen has been relentless this season. The Canadian GP was his sixth win in 2023 from the first eight races of the season. He has extended his lead at the top of the drivers' standings to 69 points. The Dutchman looks on course for his third consecutive title if his stunning start to the season continues.

Fernando Alonso (P2) and Lewis Hamilton (P3) completed an extremely decorated podium at the Canadian GP, with 11 world titles shared among the three drivers.
