“We’ll Be Defeated”: Refusing to Be Carried Away With Verstappen’s Success, Horner Keeps His Feet on the Ground
Where triumphs are celebrated in the blink of an eye, and records are set and shattered with breathtaking regularity, there exists a man who refuses to be swept away by the intoxicating winds of success. Christian Horner is well aware of the exhilarating ride his team has embarked upon in the 23 season. With Max Verstappen at the wheel of the formidable RB19, Red Bull has taken the sport by storm, winning every race held up to now. Yet, amidst this dizzying ascent, Horner keeps his feet firmly planted on the ground, knowing that the journey to greatness is a marathon, not a sprint.
Red Bull’s journey in the 23 season has been nothing short of extraordinary. The RB19 has been a force to be reckoned with, securing victory in every race, with Max Verstappen leading the charge with an impressive 12 wins and 10 consecutive wins. Whether it’s commanding displays or thrilling comebacks, Verstappen has showcased his exceptional skills on the track. The Dutchman has also dominated the intra-team battle with Sergio Perez. This remarkable achievement has left the racing world in awe, with superlatives running dry to describe Verstappen’s prowess. It’s a level of dominance that has left the competition scrambling for answers. However, Christian Horner, the man at the helm of dominance, remains grounded in the face of their incredible success.
This phenomenal success has raised questions about how long their winning streak can last and whether they can achieve the seemingly impossible–an invincible season. While RBR’s current winning streak is nothing short of historic, Horner acknowledges that it cannot last forever, according to F1 Maximaal, “One day we will be defeated, That is inevitable and a certainty. The only question is when this will happen. Of course we want to postpone this moment as long as possible. With each passing weekend, this great streak is expected to continue for some time to come,” the Red Bull team boss recognizes the importance of enjoying the present while striving to prolong their reign at the top of the sport. Christian Horner is well aware of the fleeting nature of success in F1.
