Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen was simply unbeatable in Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix and team mate Sergio Perez should put less pressure on himself, Red Bull boss Christian Horner said.
Double world champion Verstappen is now 53 points clear of the Mexican - still his closest title rival - after seven of 22 races and could skip the next two and still be top of the standings. So dominant was the Dutch 25-year-old at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya that he finished 24 seconds clear of Mercedes' second placed Lewis Hamilton, the sport's most successful driver of all time.
Verstappen was fastest in every practice session, in qualifying and also took the bonus point for fastest lap of the race. Perez started 11th and finished fourth in what he described as a race of"damage limitation", but insisted his confidence remained high."Being Max Verstappen's team mate, take nothing away," Horner said."There is not a driver out there today, I believe, that would have beaten Max in that car today.
