Lewis Hamilton fears Max Verstappen most

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has said that Max Verstappen is the driver Lewis Hamilton 'fears the most.'

Verstappens speed is obvious. His natural ability to overtake is like no other driver and now he is starting to be able to manage a race better as well. It is for this reason that

"He has all the skills to take on Lewis or Sebastian or whoever it is," said Horner to the BBC.

"I don't think he lacks anything to take those guys on and he's probably the driver they fear the most."

"Max has evolved so much. He is more worldly, more experienced. He is very quick and very determined and has his own character. He is now in a very rounded position. He has absolute determination and zero fear."

When asked if Verstappen will be a direct threat to Hamilton in 2019 Horner said, "Lewis is at a different stage of his career. 

"He has all that experience but he is 34 and at some point, it is only natural that the brightness of that talent will start to fade.

"Can he have that speed all the time? It's just human. In 10 years, it will be the same for Max."
