But, ꦬnot everybody took up the Red Bull boss on🤡 his generous offer!

But, i🐭t gave Horner an interesting perspective into how Max Verstappen and Lando Norris chat about racing, just days before they duelled at the F1 British Grand Prix.

“You could see he enj🌺oyed racing with L🧜ando,” Horner said after his star driver won Silverstone.

“There’s a good respect between the two of them. He’s ✃a racer.🍸 He enjoys racing. 

“I had all the drivers for a barbecue at my house last night, and you could see, they go straight in🐎to talking about moments on-track. 

“Their eyes light up about what happened here or there, or even in Formula 3 or k🦂arting. You see his eyes light up.”

Did all 20 drivers attend, he was asked.

“No, no. About half the grid,” Horner answered.

Oh, t🍸o be a fly on the wall for the conversations!

Red💮 Bull have now won 11 grands prix in a row, the first time anybody has done that since 1988.

“It’s an incredible record,” Horner said. 

“McLaꦆren 1988, with the McLaren-Honda, achieved those 11 victories with Senna and Prost.&nbs𒈔p;

“To think t♔hat we’ve matched that, t🔴hat’s testimony to the hard work of the team, of the commitment, of the drivers, of reliability, of strategy. It’s hard to win a grand prix. 

“Winning 11 in a row is, and I thinꦡk we’ve won, I think something, y✅ou’d have to do the maths, but it must be close to 19 of the last 20 or 18 of the last 19. 

“It’s been a phenomenal run of success for us. I think it’s something, particularly here at Silverstone, our local🌼 circuit.

“The factory is only 15 miles up the road. We have so man😼y employees living in the 𒊎local area. To have achieved this result here is something the whole team can be immensely proud of.”

Verstappen 💙is on course for a third F1 championshꦍip in a row.

But is he at risk of ever burning out?

“I don’t think burnout,” Horner said. 

“He’s a pretty laid back character, he enjoys his racing, hܫeꦍ loves his racing. 

“But I don’t think he’ll be racing when he’s Brad P🌟itt’s age in 🍸Formula 1.”
