Horner on Verstappen's work ethic: 'You get 110% back from him'

Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen: they are Red Bull's two big stars. Whereas Vettel managed to win no less than four world titles in a row from 2010 to 2013, Verstappen did so twice in 2021 and 2022 and plans to continue this trend. The gentlemen sat down with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner and advisor Helmut Marko at the Austrian ServusTV.

Christian Horner is asked to describe the work ethic of the German and Dutch world champions. He says that they are two completely different types, but also that they both have "that determination and drive, that striving for success, never being afraid. "

Dedication and determination

The English team boss says both men had the "hunger" to constantly improve themselves and ask questions in order to achieve their goals. Apart from this fact, Horner reiterates that the two are different. "Sebastian was very analytical, [he] looked at every little detail. Max - you put him in [the car] and you know you get 110 per cent back." The boss of the successful Austrian team closed ended with a final word of praise. "They are both equally dedicated and determined, and it's fantastic to work with them."

It is unfortunate that Sebastian Vettel is leaving the sport, but we may see him back in another role one day - at Red Bull or elsewhere - because of the analytical skills Horner attributes to him.
