Horner: "A very frustrating qualifying for Max"

Red Bull Racing had a qualifying with mixed feelings. Max Verstappen only managed P19 due to technical problems, while teammate Daniel Ricciardo starts the Chinese Grand Prix from 5th on the grid.

Team principal Christian Horner reflects “A very frustrating qualifying for Max, an unfortunate issue for him that looks engine related but hopefully can be salvaged without penalty for tomorrow. I think Daniel extracted everything possible from the car today, fifth is a fair reflection on where we currently are. Hopefully tomorrow we can make some progress in the race and with the threat of some weather around that can always present some opportunities as well.”
