MAX VERSTAPPEN has been labelled as the Tyson Fury of Formula One due to one key attribute. Verstappen has taken two race wins from a possible four so far on this season’s F1 calendar and even when not winning he has finished in second place. Speaking to the Evening Standard, Horner said: “I see a lot of Tyson Fury’s killer instinct in Max. “Max had a tough upbringing and he’s got that inner ‘just don’t give up’. Verstappen and team-mate Sergio Perez have been the dominating forces so far this season, with Perez claiming the other two race wins. Asked what it is like to be Verstappen’s team-mate, Horner said: “It’s incredibly tough. Mentally, Max can destroy team-mates, younger drivers haven’t had the roundedness to deal with Max Verstappen. He recognises the talent Max has and he’s completely comfortable with that.
