Horner reassuring in the face of Red Bull's concerns

As we announced to you in issue 1947 of AUTOhebdo, technical director Adrian Newey would even have rushed back to Milton Keynes to produce an RB10B of less extreme design which would be used until the Spanish Grand Prix (May 11). ) before the first version is reused.

Christian Horner does not hide that the poor running of the RB10 at Jerez complicates the task of the Milton Keynes team, the car Austrian having covered only 21 laps or 93km. But the Team Principal puts the importance of reliability concerns into perspective. “We have to review some things on our side but nothing very serious. Renault has some issues to resolve as well”, underlined the Briton on Sky Sports News. “There is clearly work to be done but there is still a little time before the first race (in Melbourne on March 16). Bahrain represents an important session for us and we are currently working very hard with both Renault and Milton Keynes. We don't want to relive a week like the one we experienced in Jerez, but that's what testing is for. We are solving the problems now so as not to have them during the races. »
