Christian Horner thinks Sebastian Vettel is capable of achieving even more success – Formula 1 news
Red Bull Racing team principal, Christian Horner has said that their driver, Sebastian Vettel is capable of achieving more success in the future.
Vettel performed amazingly well during this season and successfully claimed his consecutive third world championship title after a strong battle with his major rival, Fernando Alonso of Ferrari.
It is to be noted that the veteran German driver struggled with his pace during the start of the season as the Milton Keynes based team faced difficulties in designing a competitive car due to the amendments in the rules and regulations by FIA.
Nevertheless, the chief technical officer of Red Bull, Adrian Newey didn’t feel upset and kept on making the essential step-ups in the car and successfully developed the fastest car for the 25-year-old with which he attained remarkable results in the last
few races.
After securing the 2012 drivers’ championship title, Vettel has now become the youngest triple world champion in the sport and has been compared with the seven-time world champion, Michael Schumacher.
Although, Horner said that it is extremely hard to catch-up the record championship holder. However, he believes that the three-time world champion has a strong chance to claim more titles in the future.
“It's difficult to see any driver beating 91 wins and seven championships,” Horner told AUTOSPORT. “Sebastian is 25, has three world championships, 26 wins from 101 starts, more than 40 podiums, 34 poles; he's had a remarkable career so far.”
In addition, he said that F1 has changed a lot with the passage of time and it has become really important to perform well as a team because the competition has increased.
“F1 today is different to 15 years ago. There's a much more level playing field in terms of everyone having the same tyres, the same amount of testing, limited engines,” he said.
“Only time will tell what Sebastian is capable of in the future but the exciting thing is we are yet to see the best of him,” he added.
Besides, he said that they are aiming to come up even stronger in the next season so as to defend their title.
