Christian Horner, team principal and CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing, said after the US Grand Prix: "Firstly congratulations to Ferrari, they drove a great race from the get go and it was a well deserved win for them. For us, we lost pace compared to yesterday, so we need to take a look at and understand that. We got front limited rather than rear limited. It changed round and whether that was temperature or a set up change we made after the Sprint, I am unsure. We will, as I say, need to look into it. Max drove brilliantly today I thought, he defended well. There was obviously the issue at the end of the race but the rules are very clear about that situation and the stewards acted quickly, as all teams have been asking of them. All in all there are a lot of positives to take from today, the team did a good job at turning things around from Singapore but we still have a long way to go. But to out score our main rival in the Drivers Championship by five points over the weekend, that’s okay! Now we look to Mexico; Checo's home race, where we hope to build on what we have achieved here and continue to push in the right direction."
