Max Verstappen has revealed Sebastian Vettel texted him earlier this season that the Red Bull driver would break his record of consecutive Formula 1 wins.
Victory for Verstappen on Sunday at the Dutch Grand Prix will see him equal Vettel's record of nine consecutive wins from 2013.Vettel also achieved the feat with Red Bull but would have his record broken if Verstappen triumphs at Zandvoort and next week at Monza.
' Norris added: 'I can probably challenge for two laps and then he will drive away! There's quite a bit of tyre degradation here and that's not our forte let's say when it comes into play. We struggle in certain corners.'But we have improved the car quite a bit since Friday, so I want to be a bit more hopeful. I'm not going to say I'm not going to try, it's just Max is on another level when it comes to tyre degradation and race pace.
