@pitwall_data Yes but kimi also had an ongoing 4 podium streak heading to Brazil
If Max didn't finish on the podium the last 4 races and kimi does
Kimi would have retaken the best podium streak from max ending the season with 8 but now that he finished outside he won't
Regardless of what happens in the next few races Max Verstappen has the best podium streak this season.
This will be the 6th year in a row that he has achieved the best podium streak in a season and the only driver in history to do so
