Horner after Saturday in Abu Dhabi: 'Great qualifying from the team'

Published on 19 November 2022 by Yvonne Huijs

Oracle Red Bull Racing ended the last qualifying of the season with a front row lockout. Max Verstappen claimed pole position, while Sergio Pérez will start from P2 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Team principal Christan Horner: "It was a great qualifying from the team, our first front row lockout of the year and first since 2018. We are tremendously happy with the performance as it gives us an opportunity to end our most successful season in the best possible way. Max secured the 20th pole position of his career with a stellar last lap. On top of that, he gave Checo the tow in the second sector to help him secure the second grid slot - locking out the front row for the team. We couldn't have asked for a better Saturday, but there is still a lot to do. Now we must focus on converting this into the best possible result tomorrow, ensuring 2nd place in the Championship for Checo."
