After equaling Sebastian Vettel's record of consecutive victories, Max Verstappen he wants to overcome it and become the only driver in history to win 10 races in a row. In Monza he already won last year starting from seventh and we know how the Dutchman manages to win from any starting position.
Interviewed yesterday by Journal of Sport on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Tag Heuer store in Milan in via Monte Napoleone 25, Verstappen spoke about the record of consecutive victories, about Italy and about the possibility of giving Ferrari a "little gift". Let's hear what he had to say.
Verstappen's words
"Nine consecutive victories? Something I never thought was possible to repeat after Seb, but now I'm super proud even if I hope I don't stop. As a team we are in a great moment and we hope to have another great weekend here.".
"In Monza to break the record? Honestly what will happen will happen: If I didn't reach it, it wouldn't be the end of the world. The most important thing is to win the championship: we have a very good advantage and I want to achieve even greater results.".
“I thought I would dominate the championship this much at the start of the season? I knew we had a great car, but then all things have to go right to be able to achieve what we achieved.".
“Monza? Before the new rules it was one of the most difficult circuits because we never had great top speed, but now we go very well on the straights. I have a good relationship with Italy and Italians. I love being here, even just for the culture, it's fantastic. Some fans have asked me to leave the victory to Ferrari in Monza? I don't like giving gifts".
