Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner believes 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen recently becoming🤡 a father has only had a positive impact on the reigning world champion, claiming “he’s walking a step higher”.

Verstappen delivered another masterclass in Miami to take pole position ahead of McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

Despite a small mistake in the first corner, where he had an oversteer moment, Verstappen produced another legendary lap♌ to take pole position.

Once again, it looked like McLaren ಞhad the edge on performance, and without a mistake into the final braking zone a🌳t Turn 17, Norris would have been on pole.

Speaking after qualifyin𓆉g, Horner heaped praise on hi🙈s star driver.

“I mean, as you can see, he is walking a step higher in becoming a father🔯, and welcoming a beautiful little girl into the world,” Horner told Sky Sports F1 in Miami.

“That is a massive thing 🍸for him, and as we see time and time again when he crosses that line into the garage and puts his crash h🌠elmet on, everything disappears.

“His ability to focus and just deliver is insane, it is really, truly impressive. Like any great sportsman or woman, it is those big pressure m⭕oments, it is that last set𝔍 of tyres, when the pressure is at its most extreme where he has delivered time and time again.

“That is his third pole in six races, and against expectation as McLaren looked like they had us ꧋covered in Q2, but it is about going out and delivering the lap.

“Max is a master a🌊t that, he’s always been like that under pressur🐬e.”

Horner assesses Verstappen’s chances

Horner is hopeful Red Bull’s gamble of running more dꦜownforce pays off.

Should it rain, then Verstappen🌌 will༒ benefit from this choice.

🍸However, if the race on Sunday is dry, it could leave him vulnerable on the straights.

“Let’s see 🤡what the weather does. Maybe we are running a little heavier on downforce than the other guys because we are quick in that first sector, than bleed time in sectors 2 and 3 with that long straight,” Horner added.

“But trac🌸k position is so important and 𒉰holding track position is even more important.”
