'Now, The Focus Is On 17th Win' Says Verstappen Ahead Of Sao Paulo Grand Prix

Red Bull Racing F1 driver Max Verstappen said he is focusing on breaking the record for the most wins in one season once again in Brazil during the 2023 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

It is insane to think that Max Verstappen has won all but three races ever since the beginning of the season. The Dutchman broke his own record for the most race wins in a season when he won his 16th 2023 race in Mexico City.

The seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton said after the race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez he would put money on Verstappen to achieve the 18th and 19th win as well this season.

As quoted by GPblog, the Flying Dutchman himself told the media he is confident about going to Sao Paulo after the successful weekend in Mexico City:

The 26-year-old reflected on how "crazy" it is to have scored 16 wins in a season. After winning 15 races throughout the 2022 season, he would not think something like that was replicable.

With three race weekends remaining, it is possible for Verstappen to achieve 19 wins in a single season if he wins in Brazil, Las Vegas, and Abu Dhabi as well and he made it clear the focus already is on getting that 17th.
