Max Verstappen Makes F1 History: Michael Schumacher’s Monza Record Obliterated!

In a breathtaking display of speed and skill, Max Verstappen has rewritten the record books at the Italian Grand Prix, leaving a mark that will resonate through the annals of Formula 1 history. The Red Bull superstar not only clinched his third victory of the 2025 season but did so in a manner that shattered the legendary Michael Schumacher’s long-standing Monza record, once thought unassailable.

Verstappen crossed the finish line in a blistering 1 hour, 13 minutes, and 23 seconds, achieving a mind-blowing average speed of 264.681 km/h. This performance obliterated Schumacher’s previous record of 1 hour, 14 minutes, and 19.838 seconds set back in 2003, a benchmark that had stood the test of time. “Fantastico! Well done, mate,” Verstappen’s team celebrated over the radio, marking a moment of triumph that echoed through the racing community.

“It was a great day for us. Lap 1 was a bit unlucky, but after that, we were flying,” Verstappen remarked post-race, emphasizing the sheer joy of commanding his car. “The car was really enjoyable. With the hard tires at the end, you can push a bit more, and the whole weekend we were on it. It’s super enjoyable to win here.”

Throughout the season, Verstappen has been embroiled in a fierce contest with McLaren’s duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. However, at Monza, he decisively left no doubt about his supremacy. After a brief tussle with Norris at Turn 1, where he relinquished the lead, Verstappen swiftly reclaimed it just three laps later and surged ahead, ultimately creating a staggering 20-second gap by the time the checkered flag waved.

His dominance was particularly remarkable considering Red Bull’s struggles at Monza last year, where they faced challenges in balance and speed. This time, Verstappen’s car was a well-oiled machine, enabling him to effortlessly navigate the track while his competitors grappled with tire strategies and team dynamics. “This was an unbelievable weekend,” he stated, showcasing his confidence. “I could see the pace was there; I just needed to settle in and manage the race. Quite quickly we were back in control.”

The record-breaking weekend didn’t stop there! Verstappen also secured the fastest lap in F1 history during qualifying, clocking in at 1m18.792s, averaging an astounding 164.466 mph. This achievement narrowly surpassed Lewis Hamilton’s previous record from 2020, setting the stage for an unforgettable race day.

With this monumental victory, Verstappen not only solidified his legacy in the sport but also reignited his momentum in a season that has tested his resolve. While the passionate fans at the Temple of Speed may not have witnessed a Ferrari triumph, they were treated to a historic spectacle as one of F1’s modern greats showcased what true dominance looks like at the pinnacle of motorsport.

Max Verstappen has proven that in the world of Formula 1, records are meant to be broken, and with this sensational display, he has set the bar impossibly high. As the dust settles on Monza, one thing is clear – the era of Verstappen is here, and the racing world is watching in awe.
