“He’s been by far the most dominant so it’s come as no surprise, but to see Max join some of the great names we spoke about earlier,” said Horner.

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner hailed newly-crowned three-time world champion Max Verstappen as “the most competitive driver I’ve ever seen” on Saturday after he clinched his third title at the Qatar Grand Prix.


As tributes flowed and the Red Bull team celebrated in their black “champion” t-shirts, Horner described the 26-year-old Dutchman as “phenomenal” and “out of this world”. “He’s been by far the most dominant so it’s come as no surprise, but to see Max join some of the great names we spoke about earlier,” said Horner.

“He’s in that bracket now. The way he’s driven this year has been out of this world and I think you have to take a moment to reflect and be in the moment and everything he’s done this year is phenomenal. He’s up there with the very best, some of the greatest the sport has seen and I think this season has just surpassed anything we’ve seen,” said Horner.

His father Jos Verstappen, a former teammate of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher at Benetton, expressed his pride in not only his son’s achievement but the manner of them. “Of course, we appreciate it [the championship triumph], but it’s also the way he did it,” said Verstappen senior.
