Christian Horner: 'Max did a super job today'

Published on 22 April 2022 by Johan Peeters

Christian Horner, team principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, reflects after today’s qualifying session for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix: “Max did a super job today, it was an unusual qualifying and the one lap that turned out to count was thankfully the lap we banked and there was just too much rain for anyone to respond."

"It was a shame for Checo because I think he would have been up there as well today with a clean lap, but that’s encouraging for the F1 sprint tomorrow. Now the challenge will be to hold onto the lead tomorrow – we have got to get a good start, convert it and go from there. The aim tomorrow is to try and bag as many points as we can before the race on Sunday.”
