Horner defends Verstappen: 'Mercedes don’t have that inner confidence'
Max Verstappen was attacked by Mercedes and several British analysts after his action in Monza. However, Christian Horner believes that Verstappen should not be distracted by all these comments.
Pressure on Mercedes
For the first time since 2013, Red Bull Racing is truly back in contention for the world title. Max Verstappen can compete with Lewis Hamilton and the team still has a good chance of winning the constructors' world title. Horner would see this as his greatest achievement, despite four previous world titles.
''It will be our biggest achievement. If you look at the strength of Mercedes, and the dominance they’ve had, it’s clear that nobody’s come near them for years. No one has put them under this kind of pressure at this stage of the season so it will be an enormous achievement if we pull it off,'' Horner revealed at The Guardian.
The fight isn't just on the track though, it's also outside of it. Toto Wolff and Horner regularly attack each other, but after the British and Italian Grand Prix, the drivers were also involved in this discussion. According to Horner, Verstappen should not worry about this as much as possible.
Sober Verstappen
''Lewis has had an amazing career and he’s still in fantastic form. He’s still a titan of the sport. The fact that Max is able to go toe-to-toe with him is probably something Lewis hasn’t had throughout his career – certainly through the championship years. There’s nothing with this degree of intensity. There’s obviously a lot at stake for him as he’s going for a record-breaking eighth championship, Max is going for his first and he knows he’s got many more years to come.''
''We just remind Max that our focus is very much on ourselves and not to get sucked into any of our competitors’ comments when they’re taking a pop at you. They’re doing that because, ultimately, they don’t have that inner confidence in themselves. It’s best to take that as a compliment,'' the Red Bull team boss concluded with a clear sneer at Mercedes.

I agree with that Horner, Lewis exactly that.
Who let this kid out man he changes in a blink of an eye the tone and everything go to your bed ???
I don't blame you for not responding, your lies have been documented and to respond is just embarrassing.
Remember Horners quote "Lewis is a Titan in F1"

You must know by now what is going on!!...Look at Toto how many times he changes his mind and all the BS!.....Anything else??
So you're second guessing what Horner says, I am in agreement there. The guy is not to trusted, says one thing today and another on another day.
Well spotted, glad you called out Horner and his hypocrisy.

Wow so Horner is allowed those moments , and does he do this often. Wow a team principle thats can't be trusted with anything he says. That's quiet a criticism of Horner, do you think Redbull should replace him.
What an admission by
Horner the Redbull principle saying Lewis is a Titan of F1 , are you disagreeing with the Redbull boss mate
hmmm based on your grammar, you're based in the USA. African American I guess. Explains the Lewis fanfare. Just an observation.
Didn't know you were a fan of Horner...You are a twisted Vegetable....

Mate you're the one that's taking pops at Mercedes, and endless stream of accusations and lies.
Those comments after the Silverstone racing incident were disgusting.
Now saying that Mercedes don't have inner confidence.
Horner is just stoking and expects a reaction from Toto.
Won't happen
The British media is constantly putting pressure on Red Bull and Max. F1 is dominated by the British and well, most brits will support Hamilton. What comments were so disgusting after Silverstone? RB said that it was disrespectful to party like Ham did for winning a race after putting his rival into the wall at 51g. Ain't that the simple truth?
Horner also said that it was a cheap victory. He didnt give any recognition for the fact that hamilton won after overtaking quite a few drivers and having a 10second penalty
What are you even talking about? Quite a few drivers? He overtook one

You agree he went too far with his comments, remember he is the boss he sets the tone.
Silverstone was racing incident and who said that you ?????thanks for your view but did we asked for your view ..??
Its a blog mate that's what people do on a blog....so share you views and opinions mate.
Yeah you too but you just share crap all the time so your views are also looked with that sense
Thats your opinion mate, and you're entitled to it. Yay that's how a blog works ,now you know.
Horner is a classic hypocrite. Where was Red Bull inner confidence for the past 7 years when Merc was teaching everyone how to go beyond frontiers in F1 with innovations?
Colluding with FIA for the floor regulations has suddenly made them have inner confidence.
Mr Horner go feed your wife's sheep in the garden. That will give you some needed confidence
