🗣️'Someone's phone is going. Is that Helmut's?' Horner believes Verstappen's capacity to recognise Marko's ringtone while driving shows how he is on 'another level' compared to the rest of the F1 field ⬇️
Max Verstappen proved he is on"another level" in Formula 1 when he recognised Helmut Marko's mobile going off in the background of team radio, says boss Christian Horner.The world championship leader raised some smiles in second practice at the Spanish Grand Prix when his response to a radio message about his run plan regarded a ringtone that could be heard from the garage."Someone's phone is going," said Verstappen.
Reflecting on the progress that Verstappen has made since his maiden F1 win at Barcelona in 2016 to be currently dominant in F1, Horner said:"I think in 2016 he was very raw. He was incredibly fast, hugely, and naturally talented. "When he's recognizing Helmut Marko's phone ringing from within the car, he's just got this added bandwidth that has put him on another level, and I think the exciting thing about him is he's still getting better."
