Formula 1 is experiencing the Max Verstappen Era, and that is clear. The three-time world champion took another step towards his fourth championship last weekend, by winning the Chinese GP and taking the lead. Despite the stock of glories beginning to take on an unstoppable appearance in the World Cup, Red Bull’s team boss, Christian Horner, warns Verstappen to enjoy the success, because it ends.
Horner praised what he called Verstappen’s “golden phase”, who won 53 of the 106 races that F1 held between the last race in China, in 2019, and last week’s return. Exactly 50% of the total. But it is important to note that there is no guarantee that this type of domain will last for long periods of time.
– He’s like a metronome. The pace he showed last year remains the same. Since the Chinese GP (2019), he has won 50% of all races. He has won 21 of the last 23! He is in a fantastic phase. Max and the car are one, just as he is with the team. And he likes the way he is-he stated.
– You need to enjoy success. Max is a special talent and is at a golden moment for him. As we’ve seen with every other driver in history, this doesn’t last forever. It’s a matter of living and enjoying the moment. There is no guarantee that we will be able to deliver such a car to him every year for the next five years. So do what you can, while you can – he warned.
Formula 1 returns from May 3 to 5 for the Miami GP, the first of three that will take place in the United States in the 2024 season.
