Red Bull team chief Christian Horner has clarified comments he made regarding Max Verstappen having more talent than Sebastian Vettel, which he claims is a case of 'lost in translation' when he was interviewed by German journos.
In the wake of the "Max has more talent" comments he made to Autobild, Horner clarified them later when speaking to Sky F1 on the opening day of the United States Grand Prix weekend.
Horner explained, “The problem with doing interviews in German, not that I speak German, is that they get misconstrued. So that was one of those scenarios where I quite clearly said that Max has 'raw talent', raw with an R, and that got translated as 'more' with an M."
“They are different drivers. Sebastian, with what he has achieved, is phenomenal. And I stick by that comment with Max, his raw talent absolutely obvious.”
“I think we are starting to see the experience come alongside that now. He has been in great form the last four or five races,” added the Red Bull team chief.
