Red Bull Racing team boss Christian Horner says Max Verstappen has been in an uptrend since Montreal last year, and labels as “remarkable” the Dutchman’s performance in the first three races of 2019.
After a troubled start to his campaign last year, Verstappen’s ability to learn from his mistakes was called into question, forcing the Red Bull driver to rein in his impetuosity and focus on consistency.

Since, the 21-year-old has hardly ever put a foot wrong, winning twice and delivering three consecutive top-four finishes in 2019, including a podium in Melbourne.

The four changes F1 needs according to Max Verstappen
“He’s done a remarkable job,” admitted Horner, speaking to Sky Sports F1.
“During the course of last year, he really selected another gear and pretty much since Montreal onwards.
“He’s very much at the top of his game and enjoying the position he’s in.”
Red Bull’s Honda-powered RB15 isn’t yet on the same performance level as Mercedes and Ferrari’s contenders, but Verstappen has nevertheless made the most of each race this year.
And is results and consistency have positioned him third in the drivers’ standings behind his Mercedes’ rivals but in front of the Scuderia’s Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc.
