Max Verstappen can accelerate further into Formula One history with a victory at the Austrian Grand Prix. Victory in Sunday’s race on his Red Bull team’s home track in Spielberg would take him to 42 wins. It would move him one past the late Ayrton Senna and alone in fifth place all-time for most GP wins. Red Bull has won all eight races this season with Verstappen winning six. The 25-year-old Dutchman finished second behind teammate Sergio Perez in the other two races. Red Bull has won 18 of the past 19 races overall. Only Mercedes driver George Russell has beaten a Red Bull during that spell.
