There are many exciting young drivers


Horner is familiar with spotting young potential. His team Red Bull Racing has churned some of the fastest young talents from Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon and more.  Horner was appointed to head the Red Bull F1 Team, becoming the youngest team principal at the time. In 2010 at the age of 36, he was the youngest team principal to win a Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship.

“Max, of course, is only 24, but he’s got a whole generation around him, like Charles Leclerc, George Russell in the Mercedes this year, you have Lando Norris that looks exciting, [there’s] Carlos Sainz.

“There are many drivers, that are of a similar age, that are going to be there for the next 10 years or so. I think that’s great for the sport, it’s great for the competition and it’s going to be exciting to see how it pans out.

When questioned about what makes Verstappen so challenging to beat on track, Horner explained that the Dutchman will never sit idle and always looks to get back in the fight. “I think it’s his hunger, it’s his determination, it’s his natural ability,” he commented.

“But the fact that he never gives up… He’s a fighter, he will never let go of any opportunity, and that’s what marks him out as an exciting driver – a great driver. You know if you’ve got Max behind you, he’s going to have a go. I think that’s why he’s got such a big following in F1, [one] that we see continuing to grow.”
