Last year, on the journey to winning his third F1 championship, Max Verstappen set a record of winning 10 consecutive races.

Just like in the opening race, Max Verstappen from the first starting position did not encounter any challenges in his racing performance. Even though at one point he fell to 2nd place when changing tires under safe car conditions, the Dutch racer did not take long to return to 1st place, and thereby went straight to the final victory. after 1 hour 20 minutes seconds.
This is also Max Verstappen’s 9th consecutive victory and he is only one race short of the record for consecutive wins he set last year.
Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc was not able to maintain his 2nd position for too long. He let the other Red Bull driver Sergio Perez pass in the fourth round. Perez was then fined 5 seconds on his record for leaving the tire changing area unsafely, but still finished in the same position. 2nd place with a gap of nearly 5 seconds compared to 3rd place Leclerc.
Leclerc’s teammate at Ferrari at this stage, Oliver Bearman, also had an excellent day of competition. The only 18-year-old racer had a stable race, making no mistakes to finish in 7th place, bringing home 6 points right in his debut.
