Christian Horner has reflected on Max Verstappen ’s driving abilities and skill he claimed he’s “never seen before”. The 49-year-old has seen every aspect of the Dutchman’s F1 time at Red Bull from the inside.
In the aftermath of watching the 25-year-old capture second successive world title, Horner waxed lyrical over his driver as he also compared him to fellow world champion Sebastian Vettel. “Max – just a very natural, raw ability that has a hunger and determination like I've certainly never seen before,” he gushed in an interview with Red Bull.
"So, very different in so many ways, but very similar in their [Vettel and Verstappen] determination, in their desire to want to win, to want to be the best. Max, whatever he goes on to achieve in his career, has done so much in such a short space of time. At the age of just 25, it's quite frightening to think what actually lies ahead of him."
