Max Verstappen is living the dream at the moment in Formula 1, embracing the peak of Red Bull’s 18-year-old journey with ruthless dominance over the entire grid. The Dutchman has already secured two world championship titles and is on the cusp of making it three. What’s more, Verstappen has also clinched a whopping 10 race victories on the trot since the Miami Grand Prix this season, making it the longest streak ever.
Amidst such a marvelous career in the making, Verstappen has publicly admitted that he isn’t satisfied enough with the success he has had in recent years. The two-world champion is keen on sustaining the impeccable reign over the grid for as long as possible, paving the way to become the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time.
Quite recently, at the Italian Grand Prix, Verstappen surpassed Sebastian Vettel’s decade-old record for the longest race win streak in the sport. And at the moment, the rising Red Bull superstar is already on a 10-win streak, but, by the looks of it, there is more to come from the highly acclaimed Flying Dutchman.

Thanks to Red Bull’s brutal machine, Verstappen could well create a record of his own, which could remain undefeatable for decades, and maybe, even centuries to come. And that’s pretty much what Verstappen is working towards.
Max Verstappen reveals his biggest goal in F1
Verstappen is definitely not the kind of driver who would think about taking a breather, even for a moment. Instead, emulating his father Jos Verstappen’s mentality, the two-time world champion has showcased a persistent hunger for success. Now, Verstappen has acknowledged the need to sustain Red Bull’s insane lead in the development race and keep pushing for more victories.
“Always wanting more, never being satisfied and just keep working,” he said according to Race Fans. “We don’t have a lazy attitude of ‘we are winning, why do we need to improve?’ Because you need to improve and if you’re not improving, you’re standing still and you’re going backwards. So I think it’s all about that.”
