Horner: "A fantastic race"

Christian Horner, team principal of Red Bull Racing, says after the race at Silverstone: “A fantastic race at our local track and a real fighting drive from Max. The highlight of which was passing Rosberg round the outside in Becketts. Unfortunately we didn’t quite have enough pace in the dry conditions to stay ahead but it was very satisfying to get both cars to the finish in third and fourth. Daniel was unfortunate in losing a little bit of time under the Virtual Safety Car, he pitted at the optimum time and managed to clear Perez but the lead group was just too far down the road."

"Plenty of points in the Constructors’ Championship and a great result in front of so many staff from our factory just down the road from here, and we may get better yet. We look forward to Hungary in two weeks’ time and racing a track that hopefully will play to our strengths.”
