Red Bull boss talks about the similarities between Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel

According to Christian Horner, it is the 'steely, ruthless determination' that sets drivers like Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel apart from others.

Vettel, who raced for Red Bull from 2009 to 2014, secured four world championships and came in second place once during that period. In contrast, Verstappen made his debut for Red Bull in 2016 and immediately clinched victory in his inaugural race.

Since then, the Dutch driver has continuously improved and excelled and is well on his way to securing a third consecutive world title.

Horner said:

"There [are] so many great talents that you see come through but they’re all different. They all have their own personalities, their own traits, but with the good guys, there is that same steely, ruthless determination that they all share, that I see in Max [and] I saw in Sebastian obviously beforehand. It’s that last little bit, they’re prepared to go that little bit further.”

With Max Verstappen recently breaking Sebastian Vettel's record for the most number of Red Bull wins, it will be interesting to see where the Dutchman's career goes in times to come.
