'That was such a massive turning point for Max...'
Beating Sergio Perez to the Miami GP win despite coming from ninth on the grid to his team-mate’s P1, Christian Horner says that’s the moment he realised Max Verstappen would win the title.
That weekend in Miami Perez qualified on pole position with Verstappen only ninth on the grid after he aborted his run having made a mistake through Turn 8. His second attempt was negated by a red flag when Charles Leclerc crashed. “I think we’ve known this was coming from about the fourth or fifth race. I think from Miami that was such a massive turning point for Max,” he said. “That then run of domination with 10 victories in a row.“To see him now join names in the history of the sport like Jack Brabham, like Niki Lauda, like Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet, Sir Jackie Stewart, there are some massive names.
“It’s been a lot less stressful,” Horner said of 2022 and 23’s success. “So Abu Dhabi was obviously insane a couple of years ago, but the last couple of years have just been out of this world in terms of the level that the team has been operating, the way that Max has been driving.
