Almost collected by team-mate Sergio Perez before later taking out a bollard, Max Verstappen was left with floor damage which Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said made P2 even a “pretty decent result”.
Reflecting on Verstappen’s race, Horner told media personnel: “I don’t think we had a great balance all weekend and then obviously, he hit the bollard around Lap 20 and that’s actually done quite a bit of damage to the underside of the car. “So I think we have to congratulate Lando on his first victory. It’s always a big moment for any grand prix driver to win their first race. So congrats to him and to McLaren.
Horner described Perez’s start as “optimistic”, expressing his relief that both Red Bulls made it out of that first turn.“Charles didn’t have a great start ahead and I think that caused Checo, he had to lift for Charles and then he left him a window into the first corner. He went for it and then obviously got in very deep and was lucky not to collect Max at the first turn and then collect the Ferrari coming back onto the track after the first turn.
And on that front, Horner was quizzed on whether he felt Norris had the pace to win without that Safety Car-shaped gift?
