Christian Horner: 'Max was on brilliant form'

Published on 28 July 2023 by Johan Peeters

Christian Horner, team principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, reflects after Friday’s qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix: “Weather wise, it was all over the place again. Torrential rain to start and finishing in bright sunshine certainly made things interesting from a strategy point of view, but that’s Spa.“

“In terms of the racing, it was a great performance from both drivers. Max was on brilliant form once again, showing exactly why this is his favourite track while Checo delivered in the fashion we all know he is capable of for qualifying, finishing a couple of hundredths off Charles – earning what will become his first front row since Miami. The penalty drops Max down the grid. Starting in 6th and with Checo carrying his momentum on to the front row, will make for a good race on Sunday!”
