"He's gonna be a very present f🅷ather, I'm sure,” Horner said during Friday’s FIA press conference.

"It's the most wonderful thing, welcoming a new a♑ddition to any family. Andꦑ life will be very different for him in many respects now as a parent.
"I'm just thinking of the gen𝓰es of that child, it’s quite incredible when you thinꦇk of Verstappen and Piquet.

Will Max Verstappen change?

“He’s just very measured. He enjoys family life obviously and I think for him, it’s business as🌠 usual.
“H♛e’s obviously tremendously proud and it’s a great thing for him and Kelly to welcome a baby girl. That’s a different achievement and a different perspective in life. It’s great for him and his family.”
Horner added: “He’s been operating at such a high level for such a long time. Even back to 2021, 2020, he just continues to surprise us, with the levels he’s ablওe t𓃲o hit and achieve.”
Pressed on what im🎀presses him the most abo♚ut Verstappen, Horner said: “I think his ability to wring every ounce of performance out of the car.
“When you are really back to the wall, that last set of tyres in Q3, it’s the big pressure points where the greats really step up and that’s what we see t🦄ime and time again with him.
“Just being comfortable in that zone and delivering at a🔜n u♛nbelievable level.”
