Describing the reigning world champion’s personality to Talk Sport, Horner said:
Horner revealed that the young Dutchman did not fancy a celebrity lifestyle or a high-profile lifestyle like Lewis Hamilton or many others in the sport. Verstappen is a normal person who enjoys football and e-gaming apart from his love for racing and Formula 1, according to the Red Bull CEO.
Praising the Dutch champion’s qualities and instincts, Horner said:
Describing the Dutchman’s instincts, Horner said that the Red Bull F1 champion guarantees performance every time he’s in a car. The 23-year-old world champion led more than half the laps during the 2021 season, and almost delivered a podium result in most of the rounds on the calendar.
Christian Horner says the world championship has not changed Max Verstappen
Winning the world championship has not changed Max Verstappen as an individual, according to Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. The Milton Keynes team boss believes that although the Dutchman has matured since his debut with the team, he is the same individual he was before winning the title.
On being asked if the world title had changed the Dutch champion, Horner said:
The Dutchman’s title has been overshadowed by the Abu Dhabi GP controversy, despite his credentials as a world champion. Unfortunately, the reigning champion will be under pressure to defend his title in the upcoming season as a result of the controversy.
