Christian Horner is very pleased with the progress Max Verstappen is still making. The Red Bull Racing chief states that the nine-time Grand Prix winner is still learning and growing. 

"As he gains experience I think he's maturing as a driver. He's just turned 23 years of age but he's got a significant amount of races behind him now and he's just growing and growing and you can see that maturity in the car, in his racing and there's exciting times ahead of him," Horner said about his driver during a Red Bull press event. 

The team boss of the Austrian team also looked ahead briefly to the next Grands Prix on the calendar. "Let's see, we've got Portimao, Istanbul, Imola, they're all circuits that will be quite interesting for us and we're keen to finish the season with positive momentum, having understood quite a few of the issues that we've had with RB16."
