Christian Horner reflects on qualifying in Bahrain

Published on 07 April 2018 by Johan Peeters

Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing's team principal, had the following to say after qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix: “It’s interesting to see the top five cars qualify within four tenths of each other. Daniel got the best out of the car today to finish in fifth, which will become fourth on the grid with the penalty for Lewis.”

“Max who was doing another lap in Q1 gathering information on engine settings unfortunately lost the rear, the reasons for which we will have to look at, but frustratingly it ended his qualifying early. However, the damage is superficial and hopefully from 15th on the grid he will put his head down and make some progress through the field as our race pace has looked encouraging here. It is set up to be an exciting race tomorrow.”
