Max Verstappen said it would be “terrible” to remain stuck on the same number of career wins as Lewis Hamilton’s car number following his crushing triumph at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The all-conquering Dutchman beat pole-sitter Hamilton to the opening bend at the Hungaroring before going on to lead every lap and claim his seventh successive win and 44th of his career. “Hopefully I don’t stay on 44 for too long,” joked Verstappen. “That would be terrible I need to get to 45 quickly.” The evidence of the season so far would suggest Verstappen’s wait will last only a week with Spa-Francorchamps the venue for the final round before the summer break of this most one-sided of campaigns. Indeed, Red Bull will head into next Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix unbeaten from the opening 11 rounds of 22, setting a new record on Sunday with their 12th consecutive win. The perfect dozen includes the final round of last season in Abu Dhabi, eclipsing McLaren’s 11 in a row in 1988 when Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost were at the wheel. Hopefully I don’t stay on 44 for too long. That would be terrible I need to get to 45 quickly. Max Verstappen “Twelve wins in a row is just incredible,” added Verstappen, who is now 110 points clear at the summit of the world championship on his unstoppable march towards a hat-trick of titles. “What we’ve been doing for the last two years has been unbelievable. Hopefully we can keep this momentum going for a long time. We always want to do better but days like this are just perfect.” Verstappen, 25, crossed the line more than half-a-minute clear of runner-up Lando Norris to record his ninth win of the season and retain Red Bull’s chance of becoming the first team in F1 history to complete a perfect campaign. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: “As a young kid I remember watching Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna under the incredible leadership of Ron Dennis achieve that feat (11 wins in a row) and to think we have bettered that is something all the team in Budapest and back in Milton Keynes have worked so hard for and means so much. “Max is a driver totally at one with himself in the car and with total confidence and trust in the team. We are witnessing a sportsman at the top of his game and he is a joy to work with. “Max is a modest guy and he is uncomfortable with the plaudits he is given, but he deserves all the credit he is getting at the moment.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Lewis Hamilton rues poor form after Max Verstappen’s dominant win in Hungary I held my breath – Lewis Hamilton enjoys ‘extraordinary’ run to pole in Budapest Max Verstappen gives hope to rivals after coming 11th in Hungarian GP practice

“I never saw anyone who looked like me surfing,” says Danielle Black Lyons, a founding member of the Black female surf collective Textured Waves. “Growing up in Oceanside, CA, there weren’t a lot of Black and brown people in the water. And I think that definitely prohibited me from initially pursuing the sport.”

Nyck de Vries has announced his return to racing in Formula E with Mahindra Racing for the 2024 season. The Dutchman has not raced since being brutally dropped from his Formula 1 race seat at AlphaTauri in July following just 10 races, with Daniel Ricciardo replacing him. De Vries has since taken some time out from the racing spotlight but the 28-year-old – who was the Formula E champion with Mercedes-EQ in 2021 – has been announced as a Mahindra driver alongside Eduardo Mortara, describing his return to the all-electric racing series as like “coming home.” “It’s really exciting to be joining such a major automotive manufacturer as Mahindra, and to represent them in Formula E,” De Vries said. “I’m particularly excited about the future plans for the team. The basis is already strong, and the team has all the attributes to succeed. I believe going forwards we will be able to extract even more potential from the project and the organisation, so to be a part of that process was very appealing for me. “Coming back to Formula E will feel like coming home. I’ve been part of the Formula E family for three seasons, I know everybody very well. “I’m looking forward to being back in a familiar environment, and to be back somewhere where ultimately, I’ve always enjoyed my racing.” De Vries, who also won Formula 2 in 2019, landed a seat on the F1 grid in 2023 after his impressive debut last year at the Italian Grand Prix. He stood in for Alex Albon and finished ninth, securing two points for Williams, and was quickly snapped up by the Red Bull sister team to partner Yuki Tsunoda as a result. However, De Vries endured a tumultuous start to the 2023 campaign, failing to score any points and quickly placed under pressure by Red Bull chief Helmut Marko. Ricciardo, Red Bull’s third driver, then impressed in a tyre test at Silverstone and was announced as De Vries’ replacement at AlphaTauri following July’s British Grand Prix. De Vries has since been at Harvard University, studying negotiation and leadership, but has now confirmed he will be back in Formula E next year. The 2023-24 season gets underway on January 13 in Mexico.
