Red Bull Racing has only completed three cars in three races, but F1 team representative Christian Horner claims that it’s not about speeding up slow cars, but about “repairing fast cars.” ,
The Red Bull RB18 is a fast car, but it’s also a very unreliable car. Max Verstappen has retired twice in a race that was second in three races and won the only race in Saudi Arabia.
Teammate Sergio Perez was also plagued by unreliable bugs and was unable to finish the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Sergio Perez. Max Verstappen is in 4th place, 41 points behind Charles Leclerc, the leader of the drivers’ championship, and 6th, 46 points behind. Red Bull Racing also scored only 55 points in the Constructors’ Championship, sunk to third place, 49 points behind Ferrari.
But Christian Horner is trying to find some bright signs in such a situation.
“I want to repair a fast car rather than a reliable and slow car,” said Christian Horner.
It’s a good feeling, but if you can’t turn that pace into a point, you’re neither a former nor a child.
Red Bull Racing already has three DNFs this season, and its sister team Scuderia AlphaTauri also has engine-related problems with the Red Bull brand Honda power unit.
But Christian Horner says all those issues are irrelevant.
“None of them are related, so we need to understand them and deal with them quickly,” said Christian Horner.
But with 19 and perhaps 20 races left this season, Christian Horner hasn’t given up hope.
“Even on days that weren’t as fast as Ferrari, we were guaranteed second place in the first two races,” said Christian Horner.
“Max missed 36 points for the team and 50 points for the team.”
“If you look at it, the Constructors’ Championship and the Drivers’ Championship are very different.”
“There is still a significant percentage of the championship left, but we need to resolve the issue quickly.”
