Summing up the season, the head of Red Bull Racing Christian Horner called the stage in Imola a turning point, which allowed his team to return to the fight for the title. At the Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna, the team won the first double victory of the season and significantly reduced the gap to Ferrari.
“We never lost sight of our goal,” Horner was quoted as saying by Racingnews365. – We had a hard time at the beginning of the season, but at Imola we won the sprint and the Grand Prix, having won the first winning double of the season. Such results helped to put pressure on Ferrari and did not give them the opportunity to take a breath.
The team continued to refine the car, we were able to reduce weight, and Max had a brilliant season. However, at the beginning of the year we had a very intense fight with Ferrari – in Miami, Saudi Arabia and even in Bahrain. However, we had a great season.”
Christian Horner said a few words regarding Charles Leclerc, who was ahead of Sergio Perez in the fight for the title of vice champion: “Charles deserved his result following such a season. He was a strong contender and fought very cleanly with both of our riders.”
