Very pleased with that," Horner added. It's Red Bull's second pol;e in the last 16 races.
Sergio Perez managed to reach Q3 in qualifying, which would've given the Mexican some confidence. According to Horner, that, too, was due to the team behind the scenes at Red Bull. "Yeah, he got, he got the same setup changes, and you know, good to see him in Q3. An important qualifying, and it is great to be starting this race on the pole for tomorrow.
