Max Verstappen secured his 10th consecutive Formula One victory, setting a new record, as he triumphed at the Italian Grand Prix.
In a dominant display of Red Bull's prowess at Monza, the reigning world champion extended his lead in the drivers' standings to 145 points over his teammate, Sergio Perez.
Carlos Sainz, the home favorite and pole-sitter, finished third, over 11 seconds behind Verstappen. This victory solidified Red Bull's impeccable season, with 14 wins in 14 Grand Prix races.
Verstappen, at 29 years old, has now won 12 races in the current season, virtually guaranteeing his third consecutive Formula One title. His remarkable streak of 10 consecutive wins broke a record he shared with Sebastian Vettel. This historic achievement follows his victory in Zandvoort the previous weekend.
The Italian Grand Prix faced a 20-minute delay and was shortened to 51 laps due to a power-unit failure on Yuki Tsunoda's Alpha-Tauri car during the formation lap.
