Christian Horner praised Max Verstappen's performance at the Japanese Grand Prix, highlighting it as one of his best yet. The Red Bull team made extensive adjustments to their car's setup to enable Verstappen's victory against strong competitors from McLaren. Despite challenges earlier in the season, including a remarkable start from McLaren, Verstappen's win keeps him firmly in the championship race, trailing Lando Norris by just one point. Horner emphasized their team's relentless pursuit of improvement and their willingness to explore all adjustments to find optimal performance.
That's one of Max's best weekends, said Horner. We literally turned the car upside down, setup-wise. He's worked very hard with the engineering team and finally we were able to give him a car that he could make use of in Q3 on Saturday with the most stunning lap and then to convert that in a hard-fought victory in a straight fight.
You're always learning and we've been [looking at] ride heights, weight distributions, wing levels, roll bars. Almost every adjustment on the car we've been through this weekend, he said. It just demonstrates if you keep working hard and you never give up, anything is possible.
