Horner agrees with Lauda: 'Niki was a wise man'
- Cas van de Kleut
Red Bull Racing has proved this season that it is capable of winning almost every race. Yet, according to team boss Christian Horner, there are still plenty of things his team can learn.
It is extraordinary: eighteen races run, seventeen wins. In the days when Mercedes was dominant, most Red Bull fans did not dare to dream of it, but it really is a reality. Max Verstappen is already world champion, and Red Bull became the Constructors' champion even earlier.
Lauda statement
Niki Lauda has always said that you learn more from losing than winning. Horner agrees with the Formula One legend's statement, although he has a small addition to that: "Niki was a very wise guy and he was quite right. The days you lose, as long as you're prepared to accept the lessons are the days that you learn the most. And I think that you're always learning."
"So, even the analysis out of last weekend, we were very strong on Saturday, the pace was our opponents were closer to us on Sunday. And there are some mitigating circumstances surrounding that now. So, you can never rest on your laurels. You've got to keep looking forward. You've got to keep pushing. You've got to keep looking forward because for sure everybody behind you is," Verstappen's team boss told reporters.
