Formula 1 | Horner believes Verstappen is closing in on Senna and Prost

With ten victories in the first twelve races of the season, Max Verstappen he is more than on his way to his third consecutive world title. The pilot of the Red Bull he has already achieved 45 successes in formula 1, and is aiming to become one of the most successful in the history of this sport. With a car like this it becomes objectively complicated to be able to counter him, but also his teammate Perez, despite having one available RB19, he can't give him a hard time, and this year he has only won two Grands Prix, the only ones that Max has left to the competition. Christian Horner Red Bull's team principal goes unbalanced regarding the strength of his driver, comparing him to legends of the sport.

“It is very difficult to make a comparison between drivers of different generations, but if we talk about Senna and Prost, the two of them are legends of Formula 1 – Horner said. They are two alpha figures, it was great to see them from the sidelines, but I think Max is quickly joining this very close circle. I supported Nigel Mansell a lot, our Nige, it was a great era: in 1988 he didn't have a competitive car unfortunately, but it was an incredible season and it started a great rivalry."
