Christian Horner, team principal of Red Bull Racing, commented after the Mexican Grand Prix: “I’m glad to see the stewards making the right decision regarding the Ricciardo-Vettel incident, and it extends our lead over Ferrari in the constructors championship to 62 points. It’s been an interesting end to the Mexican Grand Prix, not one that anyone really wants to see, but I’m delighted for Daniel in having secured third place in the drivers’ championship, he’s had an excellent season and deserves it.”

“Daniel and Max have been driving brilliantly well, pushing each other on, they’ve both raised the bar and the level that they are operating at now is good to witness. We are looking forward to the final two races and it’s encouraging to see we are getting closer and closer to Mercedes. For Max to be able to have a go at Nico today, having tailed him all the way through the race is really good news. We are chipping away and you are not seeing the margins Mercedes have had in previous years which bodes well not just for this year but for a more competitive Formula 1 in 2017.”
