Before the start of the Austrian Grand Prix, Christian Horner, head of Red Bull Racing, spoke about the challenges the team posed for Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
Christian Horner “I think we will have a very tough fight with Ferrari over the course of the race. In yesterday’s sprint Max managed to get out of the DRS quickly and today we hope that Sergio Perez will also join the battle for podium places. But for that he has to quickly overtake George Russell and then try to get ahead of both Ferraris.
I’m sure he can do it because yesterday he had a great sprint and won eight positions back. The main task today is to get the maximum result for the team, and for this it is necessary to stay ahead of Ferrari with both cars. The goal is just that. Only halfway through the season, for many more races, and we have to act together in the interest of the team.
You can overtake on this track, for this your car needs to be about 1.6 seconds faster. We will try to cover the distance with the maximum possible speed – then we will have the best chances of success.
Fans support our team phenomenally and this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix attracted a record number of spectators. It was the same at Silverstone – meaning Formula 1 is now in top form. Of course the orange smoke from the fireworks in the stands can make it difficult for riders to see on their way to the starting field and in the 1st lap, but you can control the direction of the wind right away!
