Max Verstappen’s victory in last weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix saw him match yet another record, with it being his third consecutive win at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

This is a feat which had previously only been completed by Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher, two drivers with 14 world titles between them.

Verstappen was not the favourite for victory in Montreal but mastered the mixed conditions, and benefitted from a stroke of luck to ensure he has still not lost back-to-back races in over 700 days.

Matching Hamilton and Schumacher’s record is simply his latest and by no means his last accolade.

“Yeah, I mean, there have been, of course, some drivers in the history that have done quite a lot of amazing things and have won a lot of races at particular tracks specifically,” Verstappen told select media including RacingNews365.

“It’s been a good track to us the last few years. So, of course, yeah, and actually it’s great to have three wins in a row here.

“Of course, I hope I can addmore in the future. But yeah, I enjoy driving here. It’s a great track. It reminds me a bit of my go-karting days as well. So definitely always a lot of fun.”
