Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner taunts Damon Hill over recent Max Verstappen criticism.
1996 world champion Hill made headlines with a series of remarks against Verstappen, first accusing the Red Bull driver of resorting to underhand tactics like Wacky Races villain Dick Dastardly.Hill doubled down on criticism of Verstappen on Friday at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, claiming that the Dutchman uses “fear and intimidation” against his F1 rivals.
But Hill was complimentary of Verstappen after his stunning comeback drive to win a chaotic and rain-hit race in Brazil from 17th on the grid, leading to an amusing exchange with Red Bull boss Horner. “As a team we got all the cars right and the car had great pace. An outstanding drive, to come from 17th, this morning it felt everything had gone against us but he turned it around. It was an incredible performance from him, one of his very best.”
Horner then quipped back: “I think we’re gonna have to get that on record that Damon said something nice!”“He did that completely cleanly, he sliced through the field and showed everyone why he is such a brilliant driver and going to be four-times world champion.”
