Horner after pole Verstappen at Zandvoort: "This is classic Max"

Qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort was, as qualifying has so often been in this Formula 1 season, a triumph for Max Verstappen. The Red Bull driver currently looks unbeatable, and team boss Christian Horner also sees this pole position as a typical 'Max performance'.

"Yes, this is the best way to start [after the summer break]. There was some pressure in that last session because the conditions were changing every time," Horner told Viaplay. "That last lap was classic Max. He was mighty," Red Bull Racing's British team boss concluded.

Horner is very complimentary of his team's performance: "In circumstances like this, everything is changing. You try to follow and achieve that one goal [pole] every time. He [Verstappen], his race engineer and the whole team at the pit wall did a great job reading the conditions. After that, Max delivered," he said.
