Christian Horner goes on holiday in good spirits, he tells Viaplay's camera. Max Verstappen gave Red Bull Racing their second victory in two race weekends on Sunday. After the Hungarian GP, the team boss says the whole team has earned a holiday.
Overwhelming Verstappen
"Max was fantastic today. We had a little bit of an issue early on. The clutch wasn’t behaving as expected. But then it seemed to clear and we could attack the cars ahead. He was on fire, even with his spin.” Horner said.
Verstappen's spin forced him to pass Charles Leclerc twice, while he was on medium tyres. Verstappen did not have much trouble with this, as Leclerc did not have an easy time on the hard tyres. According to Horner, Perez still had chances for the podium, but this did not happen because of the virtual safety car at the end of the race.
A well-deserved break
"“It’s the best way to sign off, two wins in two weeks is the best way to go into the summer break," Horner revealed. He says the team will work through to Friday, after which they can go on a well-earned break.
