Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was all praise of Max Verstappen after he secured his fourth championship title. Verstappen sealed the title in Las Vegas, with two races remaining in the season.
Max Verstappen‘s 2024 campaign has been a topsy-turvy one. Unlike the previous seasons, he has faced several hardships despite starting on a strong note. However, the Dutchman’s perseverance and skill turned all odds in his favor.
Christian Horner has, however, taken it upon himself to address and work on Red Bull’s issues for 2025. The 50-year-old claimed that his best driver deserves the best car in order to continue winning races and titles.
I’ve got a few more grey hairs this year, but I think next year will be a thriller. But I think that you know we’ve got the best driver in our car, and I think we’ve got the best team as well. So we’ll work very hard over the winter to improve on the weaknesses of RB20.
Christian Horner said (via gpblog)
The RB20’s issues have been fairly prevalent and constant for the better part of the season. With teams such as McLaren and Ferrari turning up, the Milton Keynes-based team must work hard to resolve all issues ahead of 2025.
Christian Horner claims Max Verstappen is ‘more sensitive’ than what people perceive
Max Verstappen has been subjected to ample criticism for his performances and mistakes for the better part of this season. He has always been an aggressive driver, which has been loved and disliked by people equally since his early days.
Christian Horner has stated that Verstappen is more sensitive to criticism than what people expect. He has also claimed that some of it is unfounded.
He’s more sensitive than you think. Inevitably he’s aware of the criticism, and some of it, I think, is very unfounded.
Christian Horner said (via motorsport)
Irrespective of all opinions, one simply cannot disagree that Verstappen is one of the finest drivers of the modern era. As Formula 1 nears the end of yet another exciting season, the 27-year-old will gear up to launch yet another title defence.
