Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen will be targeting a record 15th win of the season at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, November 13.
 
The reigning two-time world champion set a new record when he won the Mexico City Grand Prix a fortnight ago, surpassing the 13 victories achieved by Michael Schumacher in 2004 and Sebastian Vettel in 2013.

Verstappen has a chance to equal his sequence of five consecutive wins by claiming P1 in Sao Paulo and Abu Dhabi, with a P7 in the Singapore Grand Prix having dashed his hopes of breaking Vettel's record of nine straight victories in 2013.
 
The Dutchman is also looking to match the 18 podium finishes he secured on his way to clinching a maiden World Championship title last term.

Verstappen is hoping to build a dynasty at Red Bull and acknowledges he is only a part of the well-oiled machine that has broken Mercedes' dominance of F1 in recent years.
 
"That [building something special] is what we're trying to do," the 25-year-old told the Formula 1 website. "With the regulations more or less staying the same for the coming years, we can take advantage of that.
 
"Red Bull are my second family, they were already world champions before I joined. We had a bit of a tough time [at the start], but I always believed in the project.
 
"The whole team we have - back at the factory designing the car combined with the powertrain division - we have a really great group of people who I think can be successful for quite a few years.
 
"It goes higher up than me to make sure we find the right people and putting them into the right position. What is most important is that everyone gets on well and everyone understands their role.
 
"Honda and now coming into our own powertrains division, it's about understanding how to work together. Implementing the two together has been really strong the last few years. And that's helped us make that final jump that we were missing to fight for a title."
