Formula 1: We Had The Pace To Beat McLaren, Says Horner After Jeddah Fightback From Red Bull
Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: After a frustrating outing in Bahrain and a shaky start to the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend, Red Bull Racing bounced back with authority in Jeddah, and Team Principal Christian Horner was quick to heap praise on the engineers and the squad for their remarkable turnaround.
Max Verstappen, starting from pole, looked set to clinch a hard-fought win but had to settle for second place behind McLaren’s Oscar Piastri. A five-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage on the opening lap ultimately proved costly for the reigning champion, who still managed to finish just 2.8 seconds behind the race winner.
Horner, however, chose to look at the bigger picture. “Let’s focus on the positives. We finished second and had the pace – which on Friday, it looked like McLaren had a 1.2s advantage on the field. This is the most competitive we’ve been in a race all season.”
