Horner: "I think Mercedes expect rain"
Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner looks back on a fairly successful qualifying session. Max Verstappen will start the race from third place and Alexander Albon starts in P5.
Strong qualifying
“We were so close to the front row. It was a good performance for the two drivers today. Mercedes have that advantage in qualifying, we know that. In the race I hope we can give them a tough time," Horner said after qualifying.
Rain or no rain?
“We were only a hundredth of a second behind Bottas, so Verstappen was a bit frustrated. It's so close. I think Alex has done a good job this weekend so far. Hopefully, we can have a strong race tomorrow. We don't know what it will do again," the team boss continues.
"We can see Mercedes have a lot of downforce because they are expecting rain tomorrow, and Daniel has low wing so it will be interesting to see how he goes up the hill," the Briton concludes.
