Christian Horner: "Verstappen still learning a huge amount"

Christian Horner believes that Max Verstappen is still growing as a driver and there is still a lot more to come from the Dutchman who has impressed the paddock in his time so far in Formula 1.

Verstappen entered the sport in 2015 as the youngest ever driver and has since gone on to smash more records, including the youngest driver to win a race as he took the chequered flag at last year's unforgettable Spanish Grand Prix.

Horner still thinks that Verstappen is gaining in ability and believes that Red Bull possess the best line-up on the grid, with Australian Daniel Ricciardo partnering the young star.

"I think he’s just growing more and more in experience. He’s 19 years of age. It’s obvious that anybody of that age is still learning every day a huge amount. As he gains more experience, his development is extremely impressive. His race again last weekend was outstanding particularly the first half, it was particularly impressive, particularly from where he started on the grid after a difficult Saturday afternoon.

"He’s growing and growing and that’s what makes him so exciting and personally I think we’ve got the most exciting driver line-up in Formula One at the moment and it’s great to see the guys really pushing each other hard and racing like they did last weekend."
