Horner after qualifying Monza: 'Not connected'

Published on 31 August 2024 by Niels Hendrix

Christian Horner, team principal and CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing reflects on the qualifying in Monza: “Today was very strange in terms of performance. Max did a 1:19.6 lap in Q2 and went second on a scrub tyre and then couldn’t beat a 1:20.0 on two sets of new tyres in Q3. So, there is something going on which is affecting that and it’s something we need to understand quickly and get on top of.”

Horner adds: “There is an imbalance in the car, that when you sort one problem you get another. You sort the front and you cause a problem with the rear, you sort the rear and get a problem with the front, it is not connected. Of course, as a team we are concerned by our form but more than that it is confusing. We will work hard overnight to try and understand it, but it gives us a tough race on Sunday.”
