Absolute dominance was once again showcased by Max Verstappen in Formula 1, as the Dutch star officially surpassed the legendary victory record previously held by Michael Schumacher with a single team. Following his first seasonal victory in Malaysia, the stellar driver for Red Bull delivered a flawless weekend performance at Marina Bay, dominating every session from the Sprint qualifying to the main race without giving any chance to his rivals on the track.
His relentless race pace and an unyielding rhythm allowed the four-time world champion to secure his maiden career victory at the Singapore Grand Prix. This milestone marked his 73rd career victory, achieved entirely behind the wheel of a Red Bull car since joining the Milton Keynes-based squad from 2016 to the present day, solidifying his status in the history books.
This phenomenal achievement enabled the Dutchman to leapfrog the historical benchmark set by Michael Schumacher. During his ten-year tenure with Ferrari from 1996 through 2006, the German racing icon accumulated a total of 72 race victories. The next logical target for Verstappen is now to chase down the absolute all-time record currently held by Lewis Hamilton in the special classification for most wins with a single constructor.
The prospect of breaking this ultimate record is entirely realistic for the reigning champion, given that Lewis Hamilton amassed 84 victories during his dominant era with Mercedes from 2013 to 2024. Such milestones underline the unique synergy between elite driver talent and championship-winning machinery across different eras of modern motorsport engineering.
Just outside the podium positions in this all-time list lie several other world champions who managed to cross the threshold of 30 victories with their respective teams. Sebastian Vettel sits fourth with 38 wins for Red Bull between 2009 and 2014, followed by Ayrton Senna in fifth with 35 wins for McLaren, and Alain Prost in sixth position with 30 victories secured with the legendary Woking outfit.
