Christian Horner full of praise for Max Verstappen: "He's been phenomenal"
Max Verstappen managed to keep both Ferrari drivers off the podium with another mature drive from the 21-year-old Dutchman. Verstappen held back at the first corner to avoid contact with the front three, a move which ultimately put him on the podium.
"Max drove a great race today, great performance. First all, to beat Ferrari here when they were so strong in pre-season nine or ten weeks ago is just a great result for the team," Horner said as he praised his driver in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
"If you look at Verstappen's performance since Monaco last year, he's been phenomenal, driving with a great deal of maturity, he's enjoying that and it's really lifted his game."
Next up is Monaco. A favourite amongst the Red Bull crew because of the nature of the circuit. Horner admits he's looking forward to the race and hopes he can dish out more trouble to Ferrari.
"For Monaco, we've always run well there and Max is due a bit of redemption there so hopefully we can give them [Ferrari, Mercedes] a hard time there," Horner added.
