Horner on Verstappen's dominance: 'The team is operating at a very high level'

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner will look back on the Spanish Grand Prix with mixed feelings. The Briton saw one of his drivers finish on the podium, and the other in fourth place. Horner reacted to the absolute dominance of Max Verstappen and his own team during a press event attended by GPblog.

The Dutchman stands head and shoulders above the rest of the Formula 1 grid. Verstappen also has little to fear from the competition in the World Championship standings, as he leads the standings with 170 points.

Horner on 'phenomenal car'

"We spent seven years trying to get back into a winning position and losing hurts. I think that we've worked very hard to get into this position. I think the whole team as a unit, and it's not just Max, the whole team is just operating at such a high level," the Red Bull team boss stated.

"We have a phenomenal car. We've got two great drivers, and Max is just continuing to evolve as a driver. He's just becoming more and more polished, and the capacity that he has within the car is truly impressive. So, I think that what matters is the score sheet at the end of the day, and that's looking pretty healthy," Horner concluded.
