Christian Horner, Oracle Red Bull Racing team principal, says after Max Verstappen’s pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix: “We witnessed something very special today. Max was in a different league.”

Horner adds: “He had three sets of tyres. Hist first lap in Q1 was quick. Q2, on scrubs, was also quick and then he had two new sets of tyres in Q3 which turned in that incredible performance. I encourage you to look at the replay on the final lap and focus on turns 5, 6 and then that high speed section. It really was quite outstanding and you have to take your hat off to him.”
