Verstappen goes full throttle for record of Schumacher and Vettel in United States

With four Grands Prix to go, the battle for the world championship is already decided. But there is still plenty to fight for. For example, there is the fierce battle for second place between Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc. World champion Max Verstappen has a very fine record in sight and will do everything he can in the United States to knock Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel off their thrones.

With no fewer than twelve Grand Prix victories, Verstappen is having a fantastic season and underlining his supremacy. The counter could end at sixteen this season and that would be an absolute record. There are two drivers who hold the record for the most number of victories in a single season and they are Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. Schumacher achieved thirteen victories in the 2004 season and needed eighteen Grands Prix to do so. His compatriot Vettel performed the same in 2013, but needed one more Grand Prix to do so. So Verstappen can match the record this coming weekend in the United States.

Behind Verstappen, there is plenty of competition for second place. Teammate Sergio Perez currently holds it, but the lead over Charles Leclerc is just one point. In the four remaining Grand Prixs (USA, Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi) Perez will do everything he can to defend that second spot, but it won't be easy as Ferrari usually have the advantage on these circuits. As for next Sunday's race in Austin, Verstappen is the big favourite with the betting shops. The other drivers are very far away from the Dutchman.
