Max Verstappen aged 25 is already an F1 double world champion and according to MyBettingSites is on a trajectory that will see him eclipse all of Lewis Hamilton’s records. This weekend in Mexico the Dutch driver could claim the all time most race wins during an F1 season. Further Max could eclipse even Michael Schumacher’s race winning percentage of 2004 which saw the German win 13 of the 18 races that year.

If Verstappen claims the remaining 3 races he will have a win % for 2022 of 72.7%, which would beat Schumacher’s 72.2% back in 2004.

Despite the recent F1 domination of Mercedes who won an unprecedented 8 constructors’ titles in a row, Verstappen has a win rate during his Formula One career of 20.7 percent of the races he has entered.
