Lewis Hamilton believes Max Verstappen could eclipse his Formula One record of 103 race wins. The British driver acknowledged that Verstappen and his Red Bull team are in a position to chase down his remarkable tally but said he hoped to be able to further extend his lead, perhaps even at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in three races time.
Hamilton was speaking before this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, where Verstappen is odds-on to secure his 41st victory, matching Ayrton Senna’s wins. When asked if the Dutchman could yet equal or surpass his own record, Hamilton was unequivocal. “He has got a very long career ahead of him so absolutely,” he said. “Records are there to be broken and he has got an amazing team.” However the seven-time champion also insisted he and his Mercedes team would be unstinting in their efforts to return to the top step of the podium.
