Christian Horner is willing to rate Max Verstappen's drive at the Brazilian Grand Prix alongside some of Formula One's most iconic wet-weather performances.
Verstappen stole the show at Interlagos with a thrilling drive full of brilliant overtakes, capped by a charge from 16th to third in the closing stages. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff later remarked the teenager is redefining the laws of physics with every drive.
It led to comparisons with countless other great drives in wet conditions and Horner thinks it deserves its place amongst the best.
When asked where it stacked up with Ayrton Senna's drive at Monaco in 1984 or Michael Schumacher's at Barcelona in 1996, Horner said: "It is right up there, you have to compare it to those great moments.
"You don't often witness a motor race like that, and what we saw today was something very, very special."
Verstappen's drive included a great pass around the outside of Nico Rosberg on the outside of Turn 2 in the final part of the race.
"The one I enjoyed the most was Rosberg! But all of his passing moves - he raced hard with Sebastian, he raced hard with Kimi into Turn 1, all his moves were great passing moves."
Despite Verstappen's heroics, Horner doubts the teenager could have challenged Lewis Hamilton for the victory. After the numerous restarts, Hamilton consistently opened up a gap to second place after managing each one without encountering drama.
"It would have been difficult to challenge Lewis. We managed to get into second place, but Lewis seemed to have the pace to cover us, so that is why we took a slight risk with the strategy to roll the dice, looking like hopefully the intermediate would come alive.
"It became apparent to us shortly afterwards as the rain very slightly increased, that we needed to abort that strategy, which was quite painful behind the safety car because you drop back a significant amount of positions. But the speed which he came back through the field, not losing time, we could see that he was catching Perez who was in the podium position with 10 laps to go, every lap, even when he was making passes he was gaining time."
