Max Verstappen is praised by Christian Horner of Red Bull as “the best F1 driver without a shadow of a doubt.”
Max Verstappen has been labelled the best driver in F1 “without a shadow of a doubt” by his Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.
The Dutchman claimed his third consecutive world championship in record-breaking fashion in 2023, winning 19 of the 22 races and scoring more than double the amount of points achieved by teammate Sergio Perez.
Verstappen set several new records, including most wins and most consecutive wins, in what was the most dominant season by a driver in F1 history.
“He’s just grown and grown as a driver and as a human being,” Horner told Motorsport Magazine. “I think the speed and skill has always been there.
He’s just rounded it with experience now. And the capacity that he has within the car
I believe he is the complete driver because of his exceptional ability to read the race, care for tires like a pro, and comprehend what has to be delivered strategically to make things work.
“We were aware of his exceptional talent, but we also needed to provide him with the means to realize that potential. Only time would tell what this talent would accomplish.
And happily, we were able to accomplish that, and he made the best use of them.
His actions over the past three years have been nothing short of extraordinary.”I believe Max is the best driver in Formula 1 right now at his current position. The current world champion.
