Horner enjoys Verstappen: "He is older than what is in his passport"
"Published on 15 Oct 2021"
•After years of Mercedes dominance, Formula 1 finally has a real championship battle again this year. Red Bull is a strong challenger for Mercedes and Max Verstappen gives Lewis Hamilton sleepless nights. Yet it is far from being played, the difference between teams and drivers is small.
•Red Bull team boss Christian Horner sees that his leader Max Verstappen is performing extremely well under the pressure of the title fight. In conversation with the German Sport Bild, Horner praises Verstappen: "Max has a good balance and drives very consistently, as we can expect from him. Moreover, he has gained more experience. That helps him."
Passport
•The Dutchman may only be 24 years old, but he drives around as if he has been a Formula 1 driver for several decades. Horner sees that his driver is very mature in the battle: "As a driver he is certainly older than what is in his passport! But that is normal if you come from a motorsport family."
Friction
•And this year, that family may be cheering for a world title from their pupil. But if Verstappen wants to become world champion, he must first deal with the great rival Mercedes. Horner doesn't have to be friends with the rock-hard competitor: "There will always be friction. Mercedes wants to defend the title, we want to finally win it again. That's the only reason we are here."
