Horner after qualifying in Belgium: 'Rain looking like it was getting worse'

Published on 25 August 2018 by Bryan van Berlo

Christian Horner, team principal of Aston Martin Red Bull Racing, had the following to say after qualifying in Belgium: "We progressed through Q1 and Q2 without incident and then for Q3 the rain was in the air but the question was how much was going to come. All cars left the pits on slick tyres with all bar Force India electing to pit at the end of the out lap."

"We had enough fuel in the cars for a couple of laps, thereafter with the rain looking like it was going to get worse, we elected to turn the cars round quickly and get back on track as soon as possible."

"Both drivers did a great job setting third and fourth quickest laps at that time but unfortunately there wasn’t then enough time to pit and refuel for another run. With the circuit improving as the rain held off P7 and P8 were the end result but this should produce an exciting race tomorrow."
