Christian Horner after Saudi Arabian GP: 'Great to rebound'

Published on 27 March 2022 by Bryan van Berlo

Christian Horner, Team Principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, reflects after today’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: “What a great race, it was a very strategic race from Max, not taking too much out of the tyres and making sure he had enough left to attack at the end of the Grand Prix. There was some great racing between him and Charles, it was fantastic to watch, thankfully he had enough to hang on right at the end there.”

“It is desperately disappointing for Checo because he drove an incredible lap yesterday to get his maiden pole, he then converted that from the start to keep the lead and was controlling the race beautifully.  He pitted on the lap we discussed before the race and then bang a safety car, and he was very unlucky today.”

“It was great for the team to rebound after the disappointment of Bahrain, everyone has worked very hard over the past week to understand and address the issues that we had. The first two races have delivered great racing between the two teams, Ferrari are very quick and we are expecting the competition to continue over the next few races.”
