Max Verstappen had a standout year in 2019, winning three races and achieving his first pole position. Christian Horner believes he brings the best out of the entire garage.
Verstappen finished third in the Drivers' Championship last season, as he won races in Austria, Germany and Brazil. He also achieved his maiden pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix. These factors made him a contender for the driver of the year.
One man who knows him very well is Christian Horner and the Red Bull principal admits Max brings out the best in the team because they believe in him.
"Max has no ego problems, is very accessible and therefore so popular in the garage and with the company," Horner tolds the Formule 1 Magazine.
"You see that everyone wants to take an extra step for him: because they believe in Max and fully support him.

"The hours they all spend in the garage to get all parts on the car and constantly improve it: that is unprecedented.
"That's nice to hear. It's just very easy to have a conversation with him. You know, you can't always talk about racing cars."
