"He has all the skills to take on Lewis or Sebastian or whoever it is," said Horner to the BBC.
"I don't think he lacks anything to take those guys on and he's probably the driver they fear the most."
"Max has evolved so much. He is more worldly, more experienced. He is very quick and very determined and has his own character. He is now in a very rounded position. He has absolute determination and zero fear."

When asked if Verstappen will be a direct threat to Hamilton in 2019 Horner said, "Lewis is at a different stage of his career.
"He has all that experience but he is 34 and at some point, it is only natural that the brightness of that talent will start to fade.
"Can he have that speed all the time? It's just human. In 10 years, it will be the same for Max."
