Horner after sprintrace in Austria: 'A fantastic result'

Published on 01 July 2023 by Julien Lemmen

The team of Oracle Red Bull Racing had a very successful Saturday at the Red Bull Ring. A front row lock-out in the sprint race, turned into a commanding double victory for the team, with Max Verstappen winning the sprintrace and Sergio Perez finishing in P2.

Team principal Christian Horner reflects after the sprintrace: "This is a fantastic result for us, a one-two finish at our home in Austria, with both drivers having a strong race. The golden rule we have as a team is race hard and give each other space and there was without doubt some good, hard racing on the first few corners, it was tight but fair, and both drivers settled into the race and had very good pace. It’s a solid 15 points for the Team and hopefully we can carry the momentum into tomorrow’s race."

"It’s been very sad today to hear of the losses of two members of our motorsports community, Bob Fernley and young Dilano van ’t Hoff, our thoughts are with their families and loved ones."
