F1, Christian Horner categorical about Verstappen: “He’s one of a kind”

During an interview with the microphones of “Inews,” Red Bull’s team principal commented on the growth path taken by Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. “Max is one of a kind. In 2021, despite the enormous pressure, he managed to do some incredible races. In Zandvoort for example, he turned the track into a disco srota the whole weekend. There were a lot of expectations around him. What impressed me about him was a 24-year-old’s ability to detach himself from what was going on around him and focus only on the race,” said Red Bull’s team principal.

“At one point in his career Checo was struggling, but we reached an agreement with him that allowed him to revive himself. Since then he has won four grand prix and achieved several podiums. He is riding better and better and regaining his confidence. The biggest challenge for him will be trying to maintain this awareness until the end of the championship, because it is precisely on this aspect that Max has improved so much: his unrelenting consistency and will to win,” Horner added about Sergio Perez.
