F1 | Red Bull, Horner has no doubts: “Verstappen will be the most experienced driver in the line-up”

Interviewed by the Dutch publication Formule 1, Christian Horner entrusted the direction of Red Bull to Max Verstappen for the 2019 season, underlining how the team, compared to the past, will have to take the Dutch talent as a point of reference, given that Pierre Gasly will first have to adapt to the new working environment.

Important words from the Team Principal, whose hope is to see a motivated line-up, capable of pushing each other throughout the season. The objective, precisely in this sense, will be to create a situation similar to that of this year, with Ricciardo and Verstappen capable of fighting for every position on the edge of a thousandths of a second.

Here are the words of Christian Horner: “From now on Max Verstappen will be the most experienced driver in the line-up, so the team will look more towards him. Pierre [Gasly.ed] obviously has the potential to develop, perhaps making life difficult for Max himself, but our hope is that they push each other, making the most of this collaboration."
