Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen will be looking to set a new record for most wins in a Formula One season at the
Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday, October 29.
The Dutchman, who was crowned World Champion for the third year running at the Qatar Grand Prix, made it 15 victories from 17 races in 2023 when he took P1 in the United States Grand Prix.
Verstappen equalled a record he shared with Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel, but now has a chance to surpass the feat he first achieved last season after running away with the title.

The 26-year-old also helped Red Bull retain the World Constructors' Championship as they opened up an unassailable 362-point lead over Mercedes in Austin, Texas.
Verstappen only started sixth on the grid despite setting the fastest lap in qualifying, but having the time deleted due to track limits. It mattered little as he made his way to the head of the pack on lap 28 and reclaimed the lead on lap 39 after Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton pitted.
He is seeking a third consecutive win in Mexico City and hopes the breaking issues that plagued him on the Circuit of the Americas doesn't resurface at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

"I think the whole race I was struggling a lot with the brakes," Verstappen revealed. "Around here there are quite a few braking points so I couldn't really have the same feeling as yesterday. So, that made my race a bit tougher out there today.
"You could see it was very close in the end and there were also the backmarkers. When the tyres are already going it makes it a bit more difficult."
