The Bahrain Grand Prix, held as a guest event at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia: after a 309-day dry spell, Max Verstappen is once again a Grand Prix winner.
The 29-year-old Dutchman secured his 72nd Grand Prix victory at Sepang, all for Red Bull Racing. First victory for RBR: in Spain in 2016. This makes Max one of only three drivers in F1 history to have claimed victories in every season over a period of more than ten years.
Michael Schumacher achieved this from 1992 to 2006, Lewis Hamilton from 2007 to 2021, and now Max Verstappen from 2016 to 2026.

At the same time, with his 72nd win for the same team, Verstappen has drawn level with the great Schumi: Michael also won 72 times for the same team, Scuderia Ferrari (from the Spanish Grand Prix in 1996 to the Chinese Grand Prix in 2006).
Only one driver has achieved even more victories for the same team: Lewis Hamilton. The Englishman, now driving for Ferrari, won 84 times for Mercedes, from the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2013 to the Belgian Grand Prix in 2024.
