Horner full of praise for Verstappen after impressive win

When assessing the race of his star driver Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner praised his pupil for the way he managed the very tricky conditions at the Hockenheimring to take his second win of the season.

The 21-year-old started on the front row but had a bad start, as he did in Austria a few weeks ago, dropping him down the order and giving him a lot of work to do.

When the Safety Cars came out during the race for various crashes, the Dutchman took the lead, and once he did, he never looked back, as Horner praises the way the seven-time Grand Prix winner went about the race.

"It’s a lottery and Max kept his head, it was a maximum of nine pitstops for some drivers and five for Max," he tells Sky Sports F1.

That yellow tyre caused trouble as it got Verstappen to spin out, as he struggled to get the mediums in the right temperature window in the slippery conditions. Luckily for Red Bull, it started raining again, and they went back on intermediates.
