Horner after P2 Max in Montreal: 'Final stint was pretty competitive'

Christian Horner, CEO and team principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, said the following after the Canadian Grand Prix: “It was a good race by Max today, he was competitive from start to finish, so it’s been a solid day in the Drivers’ Championship and those are good points for Max. We were competitive in the last stint and there were probably points in the race we could have maybe pushed a bit harder, but certainly that final stint was pretty competitive. We will focus on the race and take the positives out of it. McLaren obviously had a difficult race in the end today and you have to be there to capitalize on it in the end, you can only focus on yourselves. McLaren have two guys racing hard and they have actually done quite well that it’s taken 10 races for something like that to happen. That is racing and on days like that you have to try and take advantage. Mercedes have done a good job here this weekend and it just shows how things can shift around. Well done to them and well done to George, we will fight back at the next one. I thought as a team we did a good job today and got everything out of it that we could. Yuki drove a good race on a one stop today and he was unlucky not to get points in the end.”
