Christian Horner, team principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, says after Max Verstappen’s pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix: “When you watch elite sportsmen at the top of their game, they can really turn it on under pressure and Max did just that. He’s gaining more experience. He is continuing to mature and develop, and he has proved throughout the year that he can deliver an outstanding performance.”

Horner continues: “Charles put down a hell of a marker and there was a lot of pressure on Max to turn in a perfect lap and he did it. It was a tiny margin but a vital one for tomorrows race. But, as I have said before, it’s all about team work. There is a lot of hard work that goes on behind the scenes, crunching the numbers and working on the simulator late into the night back at home in Milton Keynes.”
