Christian Horner is willing to rate Max Verstappens drive at the Brazilian Grand Prix alongside some of Formula Ones 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 Sennas drive at Monaco in 1984 or Michael Schumachers at Barcelona in 1996, Horner said: It is right up there, you have to compare it to those great moments.You dont often witness a motor race like that, and what we saw today was something very, very special.Verstappens 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 Verstappens 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.

Manuel Estiarte - Personal assistantThese are people I trust, who Ive already worked with together in Barcelona for a long time, said Guardiola upon arriving at Bayern, and none are more trusted than Estiarte.A former Spain waterpolo champion who represented his country six times at the Olympics and won gold in 1996, Catalonia-born Estiarte is Guardiolas right-hand man, and often speaks on behalf of the manager. Manel Estiarte is closest to Guardiola, according to Sky in Germans Mario Harter He has participated in many Olympic Games, said Guardiola in 2013. I like to take his influences from other sports, he will help us.Harter, of Sky in Germany, said: Aside from Peps family, Manuel is closest to Guardiola. Their fathers were friends before that, so have known each other for a long time. Estiarte was like the Maradona of waterpolo.Domenec Torrent - Assistant coachGuardiola hired Torrent when he took over third-tier Barcelona B in 2007, and later promoted him to assistant when the Spaniard got the top job at the Nou Camp.Torrent joined Hermann Gerland, who has been at Bayern since 2001, as Guardiolas assistants, and had the honour of addressing the players ahead of the manager upon arrival in 2013. Guardiola hired Domenec Torrent when he took over third-tier Barcelona B in 2007 Harter recalled: I remember the first press conference with Pep Guardiola, the big presentation at the Allianz Arena.After thee press conference was the first training session at the Allianz, and the first speech to the team was not Guardiola, it was Torrent.ddddddddddddHe spoke to the team first, and that was a surprise to the German people.He is very close to Pep, and is very loyal. He was a coach at Palamos CF, and when they didnt have enough money to pay him, he worked for free.According to reports in Bild, Gerland will stay at Bayern to assist incoming manager Carlo Ancelotti.Lorenzo Buenaventura - Fitnesss coachBuenaventura was Peps trusted fitness coach at Barcelona, focusing heavily on rehabilitation of injured stars, and was previously fitness coach at Argentina from 2001 to 2005.

He is loyal too.Carles Planchart - Scout and video analystAnother Spaniard, Planchart followed Guardiola to Bayern in 2013 as a scout and video analyst.Tasked with monitoring opposition and talent spotting, Planchart will have his work cut out next season if Guardiola brings him to the Etihad.Bayern could have played a maximum of 55 games last season, but Manchester City, with the addition of the Capital One Cup and cup replays, could have played a maximum of 69.
