Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes Max Verstappen possesses the same level of hunger and determination as some of the greatest Formula 1 drivers in history, including Lewis Hamilton.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes Max Verstappen shares the same “huge hunger and determination” as the greatest F1 drivers in history – including Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton .
The 26-year-old set a new record by claiming a 16th victory of the 2023 season at last weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix and has now won 41 of the last 63 races stretching back to the start of his maiden title-winning season in 2021.Horner, who also oversaw Sebastian Vettel’s run of four straight titles with Red Bull between 2010 and 2013, believes Verstappen has the same traits as some of the most successful athletes in sport.
“I think Max even takes that to another level. He’s not obsessive in chasing records or statistics – although he knows more than you think – but he has an inner desire, an inner belief, an inner hunger that drives him.Horner regards Verstappen’s “inner desire” as central to his success, pointing to his victory from sixth on the grid at the recent United States GP as evidence that the Dutchman has developed into a complete racing driver.
“I think it’s that inner desire that really, really drives him. You see it in his driving, time and time again, and I think he’s now coupled that with experience, that it doesn’t all have to be done on the first lap.
