Red Bull Racing have won all 10 races so far in the 2023 Formula 1 season and are well on their way to another double-title victory. The team of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez could theoretically add a smashing record to their name by winning all the races in the season, but Damon Hill does not consider that chance too high. That has less to do with the capabilities of Verstappen or his team and more to do with those of names like Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.

Verstappen, who is doing good business in his bid for a third world title in a row, seems unbeatable at the moment. The Red Bull driver has a 99-point lead over team-mate Sergio Perez and could therefore cross the finish line second in all remaining F1 races this season and still become world champion.

Hill assesses the chances of Verstappen and Red Bull

Damon Hill estimates the Austrian racing team's chances of winning all races this season. "Can they win every race? It’s never been done before – they’ll be sitting there thinking ‘we can’t count on it, but we’d love to do it'," the former F1 driver is quoted as saying by The Independent.

Although he certainly considers Verstappen capable of it, Hill suspects other factors will come into play as the season progresses. "My experience tells me that something will prevent that – Fernando [Alonso] or Lewis will win again. But if they don’t, Max could win everything frankly," the 1996 world champion former F1 driver added. "What an achievement that would be and how tense would that make the last few races!"
