Christian Horner: 'Haven't managed to carry speed into qualifying'

Published on 24 May 2025 by Johan Peeters

Christian Horner, team principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, reflects after Saturday’s qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix: "It was a tough Quali in the end. We haven’t managed to carry the speed we found in P3 into Qualifying. It was looking ok at times, I think in Q1 we were looking like we were in with a shout.”

“Then, in Q2 as the track was starting to grip up, we started to see some issues with pace. It was particularly in sector two, where we were struggling and that seems to be where the most damage was. We knew coming here it wasn’t going to be our track but with two pit stops tomorrow there is a little more to play with than usual and we still have a chance.”
