Just as when Motorsport.com first picked out Lewis Hamilton’s 10 greatest Formula 1 victories after his 50th success, now we do likewise in ranking Max Verstappen’s best triumphs after he reached a half-century of grand prix wins last weekend in Austin.

In claiming F1 win number 50 at the 2023 United States Grand Prix, Verstappen does so as the driver to hit that figure the second quickest in 181 races compared to Hamilton’s 50 in 185. Michael Schumacher holds the record in taking 50 wins from just 153 races.

That one didn’t appear boosted Verstappen, but really it was his brilliance and Perez’s comparative weakness that made the difference. Perez was too conservative out front in the early laps and so only barely had a four-second lead by the time Verstappen arrived in second. Then when Perez was on the hards, Verstappen reversed the gains the Mexican had made into their 18s post-pitstop gap as he’d briefly worried about making his stop target lap and so backed off.
