Red Bull F1 boss Horner has suggested Verstappen would have beaten Perez in the MiamiGP even on the same strategy given the Dutchman's pace.
The two drivers both had the option to run either a medium/hard or hard/medium one-stopper combination.
However, Verstappen was able to produce unexpectedly good lap times over his long first stint on the hard tyre, even outpacing Perez on his much fresher set of hards after the latter had pitted. "I think if he'd been on the other strategy as well the performance would have been very similar today," he said.
Horner confirmed that he was willing to support Verstappen's choice of strategy, even if it was theoretically slower.
