Christian Horner invited 20 F1 drivers to barbecue at his house, “half the grid” turned up

But, not everybody took up the Red Bull boss on his generous off💎er!
But, it 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 enjoyed racing with Lando,”🉐 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.𝓀
“I had all the drivers for a bꦗarbecue at my house last night, and you could 𒀰see, they go straight into talking about moments on-track.
“Their eyes light up about what happened here or there, or even in Formula 3 or karting. You see his eyes ligh✨t up.”
Did all 20 drivers attend, he was asked.
“No, no. About half the grid,” Horner answered.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall for t🍰he conversations!

Red Bull have now won 11 gran🐎ds p🐻rix in a row, the first time anybody has done that since 1988.
“It’s an incredible record,” Horner said.
“McLaren 1988, with the McLaren-Honda, achieved those 11 victories witဣh Senna and Prost.
“To think that we’ve matched that, that’s testimony to the hard work of the te🐽am, 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 think we’ve won, I think something, you’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 Silverston🍬e, our local cಌircuit.
“The factory is only 15 miles up the road. We have so many emplo🍨yees living in the local 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 ♌championship in a row♔.
But is he at risk of ever burning out?
“I don’t think burnout,” Horner said.
“H🦩e’s a pretty laid back character, he enjoys his racing, he loves his racing.
“But I don’t think he’ll be racing when he’s Brad P🌳itt’🌞s age in Formula 1.”
