Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing’s F1 team representative, looked back on the final race of the 2023 F1 Saudi Grand Prix. Sergio Perez, who was prevented from winning last season in Jeddah by an untimely safety car, took control of the race and won the 2023 Saudi Grand Prix.
On the other hand, Max Verstappen recovered from his bad luck in qualifying and recovered from 15th on the grid to 2nd. Furthermore, he also grabbed the fastest lap point on the final lap. With a total of 87 points in the first two rounds, Red Bull Racing now heads to the third round in Australia with a 46-point lead over second-placed Mercedes. “What a race! A credit to the team today. They have built an incredible car, and combined with some really great driving, two one-two finishes in a row is the best season in our history. I was able to get off to a good start,” said Christian Horner. “Max had a mountain to climb, but surrendered a long delay and was already in 4th following more than half the race. Similarly, the Czech Republic performed equally well. “It was probably the best drive I’ve ever seen from him.” We set a test lap and the Czechs took the win.It was an exemplary performance from both drivers, the team at the track and everyone at the factory.” It needs work and is a typical example of a team performing at their best.But we are not resting.Australia is just around the corner.A track that has not been kind to us in the past so the potential for success. We want to be equally well prepared here to maximize our performance and deliver another first-class performance.”
