Red Bull Racing’s Team Principal, Christian Horner, has heaped praise on his star driver, Max Verstappen, describing the Dutchman’s recent performances as “almost un-human” and placing him “on another planet” compared to his competitors in Formula 1.
Verstappen has been in scintillating form this season, consistently outperforming his rivals with a combination of raw speed, skill, and tactical acumen. His dominant performances have seen him build a commanding lead in the drivers’ championship, leaving fans and pundits alike in awe of his talent.
Horner’s comments come after Verstappen’s latest victory at the British Grand Prix, where he showcased his skill in challenging conditions to secure a thrilling win. Speaking to reporters after the race, Horner praised Verstappen’s ability to extract the maximum performance from himself and his car, likening his talent to something out of this world.
“It’s almost un-human what Max is doing out there,” Horner said. “He’s operating on another level right now, and it’s incredible to witness. His feel for the car, his decision-making, his sheer speed – it’s like he’s from another planet.”
Verstappen’s performances have put him firmly in the spotlight as the driver to beat this season, with many tipping him for his first world championship title. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Verstappen to see if he can maintain his otherworldly form and clinch the championship that has so far eluded him.
