Red Bull at ‘highest level’ in their history after Verstappen run, Horner claims

“I think we are operating at the highest level that this team has seen in our 19-year history, it is a halcyon period for the team,” said the Red Bull team principal. “Of course we will go to Silverstone with confidence but also acutely aware that it is very easy to drop the ball and for variables that are sometimes beyond your control. What was impressive in Austria was that throughout all the conditions we have stayed on top of them and executed a very good grand prix.

The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, acknowledged after the race that Verstappen’s performances had put the 25-year-old with two world championships under his belt as a contender to enter the same class as the best drivers of modern F1. The race in Austria was overshadowed by a swathe of drivers exceeding track limits, largely at turns nine and 10. A large number of penalties were issued in-race but after Aston Martin lodged a protest post-race, the FIA, Formula One’s governing body, revealed it still had a further 1,200 potential offences to check and that it had been unable to deal with them during the race.
