Horner “Red Bull will be even stronger when it resumes”

After a thunderous start to the season, Red Bull takes the blow just before the summer break. The Austrian team has only scored 2 points in the last two races. Therefore, Mercedes returned to the top of the manufacturers' standings by 12 points after Hungary. But nothing to worry Christian Horner.
“We won six races in the first half of the season, indicated the boss of Red Bull. If you look closely, the Grands Prix where we haven't scored points are Azerbaijan, Silverstone and Budapest. It was never Max's fault. »

Conversely, Mercedes and Hamilton collected big points. The Briton is now at the top of the drivers' standings. But Red Bull is already preparing its counterattack.
“Our luck is about to change, assures Horner. Over the course of a season, there are ups and downs, that's how it is. The whole team deserves a break, the drivers will rest a little and believe me at the start of the school year, Red Bull will be even stronger. The second part of the season will be very interesting. »

An end to the season which risks being marred by penalties on the grid. First on the list: Sergio Perez. The Mexican is expected to change power units at Spa and will start last if that is the case.
“It’s definitely not going to help us., specifies Horner. We've had a lot of damage to our cars from two accidents that weren't our fault, so it's frustrating. »

Spa-Francorchamps being a circuit where overtaking is conducive, Red Bull should take advantage of this opportunity to stock up on several new engines.
