In Red Bull's podcast Talking Bull, Christian Horner gets a reminder that Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly's combined age is younger than his own. Red Bull will form the youngest driver partnership, but Horner warns not to judge against this.

"Thanks for reminding me," laughs Horner when he is told about the combined age statistic. "Not too long ago I was younger than certain drivers who drove for us.

"You do not judge a driver on how old or young he is, but what he shows on track. I do not worry about that since they both have enough experience and know what is expected of them," Horner said.

"I will manage them both in the same way as previous racers. Their age does not change that."

During the podcast, Verstappen and Gasly demonstrated their good relationship ahead of their first year together. Verstappen dished out some memories that the two hold.

"I remember that I rammed you off the track in karting and you really got pissed," Verstappen said.
