"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

(Photo: Chris Graythen/Getty Images)</p>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the heat and high altitude of Mexico, Verstappen’s race craft was on full display as he pitted from softs on lap 26 and managed to keep pace in his medium tires for just under fifty laps for the win.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Another great race, but also it’s just an incredible season for us as a team. I never thought I would be able to win 14 races in a year… I’m incredibly proud,” Verstappen said in post-race interviews.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verstappen’s most recent victory reflects the Dutchman’s</span><a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-10-16-masterful-max-cant-shake-off-titles-controversy/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dominant season</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as he continues to add wins to his name after</span><a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-10-09-chaos-controversy-and-a-second-world-championship-for-max-verstappen/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">securing the championship title in Japan</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with four races to go.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning of the season, there was all to play for, with Ferrari looking like strong contenders for the championship, and with two DNFs in the first four races of the year, the reigning champion looked set for an uphill battle. But since then, Verstappen has gone on to take absolute control of the field, even winning five races in a row between July and September.</span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1447499\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1437782204.jpg\" alt=\"F1 Grand Prix of Mexico\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" /> Max Verstappen of the Netherlands driving the (1) Oracle Red Bull Racing RB18 on track during the F1 Grand Prix of Mexico at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on 30 October, 2022 in Mexico City, Mexico. (Photo: Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images)</p>\r\n<h4><b>Among the greats</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verstappen’s new record has put his name among some of the greats, beating the record for most wins in a single season by any driver in Formula 1.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2004, racing for Ferrari, Schumacher won 13 out of 18 races. His worst results were one DNF and one 12th place, along with one seventh place and two second-place podium finishes.</span>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<strong>Visit <a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=in_article_link&utm_campaign=homepage\"><em>Daily Maverick's</em> home page</a> for more news, analysis and investigations</strong>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That year, Schumacher achieved his seventh title — another record, which Lewis Hamilton subsequently equalled.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nine years later, compatriot Sebastian Vettel equalled Schumacher’s race-win record when racing for Red Bull in 2013. Vettel won 13 out of 19 races and clinched his fourth and final title with three races remaining.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is worth considering that although Verstappen has won the most races in a season, 2022 is one of the longest seasons yet, and as more races are set to be added to the season calendars, there are more opportunities for drivers to break the record again.</span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1447498\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-51459021.jpg\" alt=\"F1 Schumacher 2004\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" /> Michael Schumacher of Germany and Ferrari celebrates his victory, during the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit on 10 October, 2004 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo: Mark Thompson/Getty Images)</p>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand how the Dutchman fares against the likes of Schumacher and Vettel, statisticians also work out the percentage of race wins to races competed in per season. Winning 14 out of 20 races puts Verstappen’s race win percentage at 70%, just between Vettel’s 68.42% and Schumacher’s 72.22%.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With two races left in Brazil and Abu Dhabi, Verstappen could well go on to smash his newly set 14-race-wins record and add to it, setting it at a new high of 16. If he did, he would overtake Schumacher with a percentage of 72.72.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“It's been an incredible year so far, we are definitely enjoying it and we’ll try to go for more,” Verstappen said after the Mexican GP.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if he fails to win the next two races, his percentage would drop to below Vettel’s.</span>\r\n<h4><b>Vertsappen’s points record</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the race-win record is getting most of the attention, Verstappen also made another noteworthy achievement at the Mexican GP. By winning the race, the two-time champion now has 416 points for 2022, breaking the record for the highest number of points scored in a season.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The previous record was held by Lewis Hamilton in 2019 when he won his sixth championship with 413 points.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Hopefully we can score a few more [points], but I mean, it’s not about that. At the end of the day, it’s all about trying to win a championship and it doesn’t matter with how many points you do it, but it does show that we are having an incredible year,” Verstappen said. </span><b>DM</b>\r\n\r\n \r\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 400px;\" data-tf-widget=\"VioiFF91\" data-tf-inline-on-mobile=\"\" data-tf-iframe-props=\"title=Water cuts\" data-tf-medium=\"snippet\" data-tf-disable-auto-focus=\"\"></div>\r\n<script src=\"//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js\"></script>",
