When asked if he thinks Max Verstappen can break his 103 race wins record, Lewis Hamilton said “records are there to be broken”, but Mercedes will try to “slow him down”.

If Max Verstappen wins the Canadian Grand Prix, he will match Ayrton Senna’s 41 career wins. When asked about this, Lewis praised the young Dutchman.

“Yeah, Max has been doing an amazing job,” he said.

“He’s had such an incredible career so far and he’s for sure going to surpass that.

“[We’re] working on getting the car to where it needs to be so we can slow him down.”

“He’s got a very long career ahead of him so absolutely. Ultimately, records are there to be broken.

“And he’s got an amazing team, but as I said, we’ve got to work harder to try and continue to extend it.

“I hope we get to have some… At least within the last period of time in my career, I hope we get to have some more close racing,” Hamilton concluded.
