Horner knows where Red Bull needs to be sharp: "That will be a challenge"
- GPblog.com
Christian Horner expects traffic to play a major role in Saturday's qualifying session for the Dutch Grand Prix. The Zandvoort circuit is a relatively short circuit, with the drivers already at the startfinish line within seventy seconds. So it will be a matter of finding gaps, Horner suspects.
"That will be a challenge," Horner said in the team bosses' press conference. In the first free practice session, we already saw that the track can be hugely crowded, which can have a big impact on your lap time if you're on a fast run.
The Red Bull Racing team boss is also asked about the pressure that a home race brings for Max Verstappen. However, the 47-year-old Briton reveals, according to Motorsport-Total.com, that there is no real additional pressure on Verstappen. "He approaches this weekend like any other," said Horner, who believes it will be another close call with Mercedes this weekend.
Wolff on stopping the clock at code red
Toto Wolff was asked about the red flag situation. The clock just kept on ticking, while it was impossible to drive for half an hour. The Mercedes chief actually thinks that this should be solved in the future by changing the regulations. According to Wolff the time should be stopped so that the fans can also see driving cars for their money.
