Horner thinks Verstappen is 'just on another level'

Max Verstappen gave Red Bull Racing the constructors' championship. Something that team principal Christian Horner is of course sure to like. He reacted to Red Bull's sixth constructors' championship title after the Japanese Grand Prix.

"Yes, I mean it's been the most amazing race for us, the most amazing year and it's all testimony to these guys and all the men and women back in the factory in Milton Keynes and to Red Bull, to all our partners," Horner told Sky Sports afterwards.

"It's the collection of an incredible effort of everybody doing their bit to achieve results like we've done and of course, Max is just on another level at the moment. Today was an incredible performance," concluded the Briton.

In Qatar, Verstappen could also become world champion himself in the king class of motorsport. It would be his third world title in a row. After the Japanese Grand Prix, the two-time world champion has 400 points in the standings and 177 points ahead of teammate Sergio Perez.
