Christian Horner is keeping his cards close to his chest so close to the Miami Grand Prix. The Red Bull Racing team boss did not yet want to reveal what Max Verstappen 's strategy will be. The Brit is curious to see how the race will go.
"I think obviously it's going to be interesting with this wind and see how the tyres behave on this surface," Horner said. It rained quite heavily last night, so all the rubber that has been deposited on the track over the past few days has been washed away again. Formula 1 drivers will have to make do with less grip. "I think we just have to be flexible [with the strategy]," he said at Viaplay.
Which tyre will Verstappen start on in the United States? "Pirelli," Horner keeps his jaws shut. He finds it difficult to say whether a first-place or podium finish is possible for Max. "It's impossible to predict. I mean he's got a lot of competitive drivers to get ahead of. So I think it's going to be harder to overtake. So let's see."
Verstappen, after Q3 was aborted early because of Leclerc's crash, will have to come from ninth place on the grid on Sunday.
