Red Bull believes in a world title for Verstappen

Especially after the hussar ride from last to second place on Sunday in Sochi. “The whole team is motivated to the core. They are having a lot of fun with this duel and are taking on the challenge with joy. As a team, everyone is working as hard as they can to win this World Cup,” said team boss Christian Horner on ServusTV. Due to Lewis Hamilton's lucky victory in Russia, Verstappen had to give up his lead to the English world champion. However, he kept the damage feared after a setback due to an engine change well within limits with second place and is only two points behind with seven races to go. “Max is equipped with everything he needs to reach the next level. The time is ripe, he is ready and is driving phenomenally,” Horner praised his 23-year-old A-series driver, who is going for his first driver’s title. Hamilton (36), on the other hand, can win the title for the eighth time and would therefore be the sole record holder in the premier motorsport class. Red Bull is convinced that the Mercedes driver will dig deep into his bag of tricks. “Lewis likes to play mind games. “He uses all the tools he has to put pressure on Max and always wants to show that he is not the favorite,” Horner has learned. However: “Max doesn’t care much about it,” assured Horner. “He is the most relaxed driver in the entire field and always just wants to give full throttle.”
