Red Bull: Winning all 2023 F1 races is "of course becoming a goal"

Red Bull's Helmut Marko has admitted that "of course it is becoming a goal now" to win all of 2023's Formula 1 races.

Max Verstappen took his 10th win in a row in Monza last weekend, which was the 15th consecutive victory for Red Bull.

Extending its clean sweep of 2023 race wins, the Milton Keynes team is another step closer to winning all 22 races this year, which would be unprecedented in the world championship.

McLaren won 15 out of 16 races in 1988 with its all-conquering MP4/4, only missing out on a clean sweep when Ayrton Senna tangled with Williams stand-in Jean-Louis Schlesser at Monza.

Until the Italian Grand Prix, Red Bull has always publicly refused to look beyond the next race. But with just eight races remaining Marko admitted that, after breaking F1's record for consecutive race wins, delivering a perfect season is now the next big carrot dangling in front of it.

"First of all our goal is to secure the world championships," the Austrian told Autosport.

"But let's say if we win in Singapore, then the chance is there that we can win all the races. Of course, it is becoming a goal now.

"In the beginning of the season, it was not realistic to win all the races and it has never happened before.

"McLaren was stopped here [in 1988], so the press constructed a story that the curse would hit us as well, but we didn't let it hit us."
