‘I’ve never heard Lewis Hamilton recognise Max Verstappen’s ability’: Red Bull chief Christian Horner believes the British star was left ‘rattled’ by his arch rival last year during their tense battle for the title

Red Bull chief Christian Horner claims he has never heard Lewis Hamilton praise the ability of his arch rival Max Verstappen. ‘They raced each other since [being] kids, and there was a mutual respect. ‘I think arguably, maybe more so in Lewis’ head,’ he added. ‘We definitely saw after Lewis qualified on pole at Silverstone and Max won the sprint race you saw Lewis, he was a bit broken after the sprint race,’ he continued. ‘It was high stakes stuff and your emotions run high, but it probably affected Lewis arguably more than Max because, as I say, he’d got more to lose than Max.
