With Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez Example, Christian Horner Snubbed Red Bull’s “Bad for the Sport” Perception

Christian Horner has recently revealed the only consistent “thing” from Netflix’s Drive to Survive. The Red Bull talisman opened up about it in a recent talk show and said that Guenther Steiner was the only “consistent thing” in DTS over the years.

Admittedly, from being the face of the later part of the series in season three when Romain Grosjean crashed and came out from a ball of fire to firing Mick Schumacher after a tensive 2022 F1 season, Steiner has been all over the show.

Talking about this in Pardon My Take show, Horner said,

“One thing that’s consistent is how f*cking scary Guenther Steiner is. That’s the consistent thing through all of the shows what I see.”

Notably, the Haas principal always had an instrumental role to play in the docu-series. The man famous for his ‘We look like a bunch of w*nkers’ to ‘I was ready to **** the whole Paddock for one point’ dialogue never disappointed the audience.

Horner shared the “luxury” problem Red Bull has

Speaking on the show, the British executive also shared about a unique problem the Austrian team is facing lately. Horner said that his team is facing the kind of problem that every team dreams of having.

Calling it as the “luxury” problem, the 49-year-old conveyed, that it is not basically a problem. He went on to add that it’s actually great to see “two guys [Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez] pushing each other hard.”

The Red Bull honcho further asserted that it’s great to see how Perez has made a step up in the team. Notably, the Mexican is now a championship protagonist alongside Verstappen, which he wasn’t in the first two years on the team.

Red Bull boss snubs dominance as boring

Amid talks of Red Bull’s dominance making the sport boring, the team boss has promptly snubbed the allegations. Horner doesn’t think his team dominating F1 is making it look bad for the sport.

While talking about this, the 49-year-old shared that Verstappen and Perez provide a different dynamic to the sport. Two drivers from the same team giving their all out to win is nothing but exciting as well.

Admittedly, the intra-team rivalry has always been a very big talking point. From the earlier days of Ayrton Senna vs Alain Prost in McLaren to Lewis Hamilton vs Fernando Alonso, or Sebastian Vettel vs Mark Webber to Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in Mercedes, this has always been a top talking point.
