Max Verstappen has repeatedly said he doesn’t like sprint weekends, that they take away his interest in racing, but Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner said at a press conference on Friday that this will not affect the driver’s performance…
Christian Horner: “We do not consider this statement by Max as a risk factor. He has his own opinion, which he expresses openly, but I don’t think it’s worth looking far into the future now. Could Fernando Alonso imagine driving in Formula 1 at the age of 42? Probably not. Lewis Hamilton is in his thirties. Nobody knows what the future will bring.
Last week’s sprint weekend was interesting, but we need to work on the rules to make it even better. Why you can’t change the machine settings after the first workout. In addition, I would prefer to choose the tire composition freely, at least in the final qualification for the sprint.
I think the rules should be changed. Let’s do six sprint weekends this year and then we’ll see how we go on.”
