Max Verstappen did what was expected and delivered Red Bull's 100th F1 win at the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix. But the winning margin was smaller than usual for this season. That doesn't mean opponents are getting closer, writes Mark Hughes
In equalling Ayrton Senna's tally of 41 grand prix victories, Max Verstappen delivered Red Bull its 100th.
There's nothing at all surprising in Verstappen running imperious from pole to the chequered flag in 2023. What was a little unusual about this Montreal race was the relatively small winning margin. Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin was only 9sec behind after 70 laps, and some of those laps had been spent behind Lewis Hamilton's slightly slower Mercedes — and even that was only 14sec adrift of the Red Bull at the end. Typically, this season Red Bull has been winning races by between 20sec and half-a-minute.
