Red BullIt must also be said that since his retirement in Australia, during the first race, the Racing Bulls driver has been putting in a string of solid performances. He notably scored points at Suzuka (8th) and Jeddah (10th).

“He’s been really impressive so far this season. Especially on tracks he’s never driven on. He’s had very little track time in an F1 car. He’s like a fish in water so he’s been very impressive so far.” Horner estimated.

Like Hadjar, the Red Bull boss surprised by the new generation

"It is very effective.", the Red Bull boss reassured. In the same interview, Christian Horner also said how much he thought of the new generation that arrived this season. "I think these young people who are coming in, we see that they are simply ready to adapt to Formula 1. And they are very confident, they have plenty of energy."

"Isack had a brilliant drive, in my opinion, on circuits that were almost all new to him.", concluded the Briton. As a reminder, the Frenchman will start in 11th position this Sunday. With numerous overtaking opportunities, he will still have the possibility of securing another top 10 finish. Enough to continue his momentum and confirm all the good things people think of him in the paddock.
