At the end of the Italian Grand Prix, the Dutch driver Max Verstappen once again took the top spot, creating a record of 10 consecutive wins in a single season, breaking the all-time record set by Sebastian Vettel and becoming the new generation of Formula One's record holder for consecutive wins in a single season. And continued to lead the Red Bull team to complete the victory.

Two-time world champion Verstappen showed patience in the Italian Grand Prix from second place, putting constant pressure on Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz Jr., and seizing the moment to overtake on lap 15, before settling in front of the pack to win his 12th race of the season.

The victory reaffirmed Red Bull's unbeaten record for the season and extended Verstappen's lead in the drivers' championship to 145 points, ahead of his runner-up teammate Sergio Perez, who finished first and second in the standings with 364 points and 219 points respectively.

Creating an unprecedented 10-game winning streak, Verstappen said: "Although 10 wins in a row is an impossible task, it is still something we are striving for. Because of the adjustment of the rear wing, it is not easy for us to take advantage of Turn one, we have to be patient to have a chance to win, keep the pressure on Perez, and when I noticed his tyres spinning and locking up, I thought 'perfect! "And take the opportunity to overtake at the exit of Turn 2. It has been incredible so far this season and we have won the second place at Monza today, which is a very proud result!"

Perez, who returned to second place, was also pleased with the second place, "It's a very proud day for the team. Ferrari had a lot of speed in the straight line, it was really hard to overtake, we fought hard and gave everything we had to succeed. Verstappen's achievement today was incredible, it was his moment."

The Red Bull team has won 14 consecutive races this season, and the next race will be the Singapore Grand Prix at 8 PM Taiwan time on the 17th, where Verstappen will challenge to continue the record.
