Red Bull Racing chief Christian Horner said the team will not challenge the two 10-second penalties given to Max Verstappen during the race at the Rodriguez Brothers Circuit.
Christian Horner: “We will not exercise the right of appeal. The most important thing to pay attention to is in which direction the race will develop next.
I’m not sure the drivers understand all aspects of what’s going on. If it’s just about being the first to the top, all you have to do is let off the brakes and get to that point first, and then say, “I was ahead at that moment,” even if you had not overtaken.
The situation is a little different than in Austin. They both went off the track last week, and if you go off the track you can’t gain an advantage.
This should be arranged in the future. We’re seeing great racing now, great competition, and I think it’s important that the rules are fair and don’t favor the outside radius.
In the history of motorsport, attacking from the outside has always been riskier, but now it is almost an advantage because all you have to do is be ahead at the turning point, whether you enter the corner or not.”
