导出博客文章Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has lavished praised on teenager Max Verstappen after his stunning Spanish GP victory. Fake NHL Jerseys . The teams decision to swap Daniil Kvyat with Verstappen was the major pre-weekend talking point but the Dutchman justified their faith in him in abundance, smashing Formula 1 records as he kept Kimi Raikkonen at bay in Barcelona.I think hes already marked himself out as a superstar of the future and justified the faith Red Bull has shown in him. What he has clearly got is an ability to perform under pressure, Horner told Sky Sports News. When Kimi Raikkonen was following him, never once did he put a wheel wrong or brake a lock-up. Hes incredibly calm under pressure. Simon Lazenby has the story of the controversial decision by Red Bull to swap Daniil Kvyat for Max Verstappen. Verstappens maiden F1 victory was also Red Bulls first in two years and the former world champions are expected to perform strongly again in two weeks time at a Monaco circuit which should suit their car.To score his first victory now, becoming the youngest grand prix victor on his debut for the team is fairytale stuff, added Horner. I suspect hes going to get stronger when he gets more experienced, more familiar in the car. His confidence will grow.The win required Verstappen to eke out 32 laps on the medium compound, but the 18-year-old had no problems with the unfancied two-stop strategy, and his mentality impressed Horner.Brundle: Verstappen F1s new beginningI think the biggest aspect of his weekend has been his calmness, he explained. Were all getting tense when theres five laps to go, because the tyres were at the end of their life and hes got Kimi breathing down his neck with what looked like obvious advantages. He very calmly came on the radio and said please can you ask Charlie to deal with the blue flags swiftly. There was no agitation in his voice, there was no panic, there was no tension. It was a young man who was completely in control of what he was doing. Max Verstappen says its amazing to have won his first Grand Prix, with the Red Bull driver becoming the youngest man in history to win an F1 race. Horner could only offer his sympathy to Daniel Ricciardo, who was leading the race before Red Bull brought him into the pits in an attempt to counter the threat of Ferraris Sebastian Vettel.Verstappen, meanwhile, has a long way to go if he his to match four-time world champion Vettel, but his career seems to be following a similar trend already having made the jump from Toro Rosso to winning races so quickly.And thats not where the early comparisons end, according to his new team boss.Verstappen: The power of youthIts quite uncanny really because theres an awful lot of similarities to when Sebastian joined the team, Horner added. Mechanics were telling me that even the way he gets in the car is similar. Same side, the way he pulls his knee up to get into the chassis, and so on.But hes his own man as well. Hes a very together young man, youd never have thought he was 18. Every race live in 2016 Sky Sports F1 brings you every race live in 2016.

Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes new rules of engagement will not change his approach to racing despite the threat of much greater deterrents.Hamiltons last-lap clash with teammate Nico Rosberg in Austria triggered a furious reaction from team boss Toto Wolff, who threatened implementing the unpopular team orders to prevent a recurrence in 2016. After a meeting at the teams Brackley headquarters on Thursday morning Mercedes announced its drivers are still free to race, though it had strengthened its rules of engagement.When asked ahead of this weekends British Grand Prix if the new rules would prevent him going for the sort of move he successfully completed on Rosberg in Suzuka and Austin last year, Hamilton replied: Unfortunately everything thats been said is private and confidential so Im not allowed to say. But were still able to race... In all those races the stewards deemed me racing so I will still race like that.Asked if the deterrents were enough to scare him out of racing in his usual fashion, Hamilton smiled and said: I guess I should say yes!He went on to say: In all honesty I think our destiny has always been in our hands, so doesnt really change anything. Were still able to race which is a positive, no team orders, which is great for the fans, so everybody should be excited.Hamilton was then asked how he would have responded to the latest collision if he was in Wolffs position.Me personally I think Id probably be in a better position because Im a racing driver, so I know what you would do and what I would do on a race track and what I would not. Fake Jerseys. Our great engineers and individuals who dont race, its difficult for them to understand the decisions we take when were racing at 200 mp/h. So I think Im in a better position but Im not going to tell you what I would and would not do.I would want them to race, thats for sure, and I wouldnt bring in team orders because racing is why Im here and why I would be there - to watch them race. Id probably understand that when you have two cars that are racing first and second there are going to be times, out of 60 races together, theres going to be five collisions ... I dont know how many weve had but its a small amount compared to the amount of successful races and one-twos weve had. So thats me.Late in the press conference a German journalist asked Hamilton if he would even obey team orders if they were implemented, referring back to the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix. In reply Hamilton laughed and said: Ooooh buddy, youre feeling a certain way huh! Youve just got to let it go buddy, it was a couple of years ago.I would, thats my job, its what I get paid to do, it is what we agreed today and whats in our agreement. If you go to [Hungary] 2014 and listen to manuscripts youll understand I didnt say no, I just said I wouldnt get in the way if he got close and he didnt get close. ' ' '
