(Motorsports news) In Monza, Max Verstappen won for the tenth time in a row, giving Red Bull 15 straight victories. The Milton Keynes team is one step closer to winning all 22 races this year, which would be unprecedented in the championship, by extending its unblemished streak of 2023 race victories. With eight races left, the team has now openly acknowledged that after breaking F1’s record for consecutive race wins, completing a perfect season is now the next major carrot being held out in front of it.

Up until Monza, the team had always publicly refused to look beyond the next event. The world championships are our top priority, Marko told. “However, suppose we succeed in Singapore, increasing the likelihood that we would succeed in all races. Of course, it is now a target. At the start of the season, winning every race was not feasible, and it had never occurred before.

The press made up a tale that we would also be affected by the curse because McLaren was stopped here, but we managed to avoid it. Red Bull was predicted to struggle at Monza, but Verstappen and teammate Sergio Perez held off a valiant effort from Ferrari drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc to finish 1-2.

The team believes Singapore, which has a bumpy layout that the Red Bull B19 doesn’t fare well on, will be its biggest challenge in the upcoming race, but Marko still expects Red Bull to be the favorite. “Like every race, we have had a competitive car everywhere, so why shouldn’t that not be the case in Singapore?” Marko continued.

However, I must admit that Ferrari, and particularly Leclerc, is an expert there. Since overtaking in Singapore is incredibly challenging, it could become a problem for us if they qualify faster than us. Nevertheless, I am certain that the product we are presenting to Singapore will be strong enough to win.

Team owner Christian Horner responded, “There are so many elements, whether it’s reliability, whether it’s luck, whether it’s strategy, whether it’s a pitstop, whether it’s pace, that it’s impossible to say how Red Bull can be defeated this year. There are so many elements to weather.

“You have to maintain your composure, and I believe that our ability to do so has been our most spectacular accomplishment thus far this year. “We’ve continued to operate at a level that is incredibly high, and that is something that has never been seen before.” Horner acknowledged that his squad has remained alert and motivated because of the possibility of making even more history this season with a clean sweep.

He declared, “I think for the whole team, everything that we’re doing right now, we’re making history. “You don’t get the chance to do that very often.”
