The story so farSummarised from RacingNews365

Max Verstappen has achieved 72 grand prix victories, bringing him closer to Michael Schumacher's record of 91 wins. At just 28 years old, Verstappen's win count significantly surpasses Schumacher's at the same age, largely due to the increased number of races in modern Formula 1 seasons and Verstappen's earlier debut.

However, when comparing their win percentages across similar race starts, Schumacher's record remains superior. Verstappen's contract with Red Bull extends until 2030, providing him with the opportunity to chase Schumacher's tally, contingent on Red Bull's ability to deliver competitive cars in the coming seasons.
