Max Verstappen And Sergio Perez Beat F1 Record That's Been Standing Since 1988

It's pretty clear who the world champion will be this year. Verstappen has accrued 281 points, and his closest rival remains Checo with 171 points. As the gap between the two Red Bull drivers increases, the likelihood of Verstappen winning the championship early grows. Four sprint races are still left this season, making it harder to predict. If Verstappen continues to score an average of 25.5 points per race, he'll likely have it wrapped up in Qatar.

Thanks to an impressive third place on the podium, Perez has widened the gap between his second place (171 points) and Fernando Alonso (139 points). Hamilton is fourth with 133 points, followed by Russell with 90 points.

Second and third are still very much up for grabs. Alonso and Hamilton can still give Perez a hard time. At the same time, Norris is slowly creeping up on Russell, Sainz, and Leclerc. There's a 10-point split between the latter trio, and after two second-place finishes, Norris is in eighth position.

Unless an asteroid hits the Red Bull campus within the next week, the Milton Keynes-based team will likely win the Constructors' Championship in the next few races. Verstappen and Perez are consistent points scorers, as are the Mercedes duo, currently in second place. Red Bull has 452 points, more than double the 223 points Mercedes has amassed.

一个ston Martin is third with 184 points, and Ferrari is fourth with 167 points. Here's where it gets interesting, however. McLaren's two drivers are consistent, andthe upgraded car is a monster．Ferrari and Aston Martin are in trouble if McLaren can stay on form. Aston Martin only has one consistent driver, and Ferrari is, well, being Ferrari. (A nine-second pitstop, guys. WTF?)

Can McLaren climb up to third? If it does, everyone on the team is getting a brand-newMcLaren Artura．

The Hungarian Grand Prix saw a few new records being set. The most talked about is the most consecutive wins by a team, which now belongs to Red Bull. Thanks to Verstappen and Perez, Red Bull beat a record that has been standing since 1988. Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna won 15 out of 16 races that season, 11 of them in succession. Red Bull is now on 12 in a row and is eyeing a perfect season (McLaren's 1988 season is closest), but it also has the most season wins in its sights, Mercedes' 19-out-of-2021 in 2016.

With seven consecutive wins, Verstappen is also now in esteemed company. The only others who have managed this feat include Alberto Ascari, Michael Schumacher, and Nico Rosberg. Three more wins, and he'll surpass Sebastian Vettel's nine wins

Red Bull also claimed the fastest pit stop of the season, swapping Checo's tires in just 1.98 seconds. See why we keep on saying that it'snot just the car．..

一个nd even though he didn't finish on the podium, we'd be remiss not to mention Sir Hamilton's achievements. He added one more pole position to his already impressivetriple-digit pole and victory record．By claiming pole position, he also set the new record for the most poles by any driver at one circuit.

The next race is in Belgium this weekend at theinfamous Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps．这是下一个sprint的周末,所以它应该是交流tion-packed.
