“There’s more to be done at Red Bull”
“I think there is still a lot of work to be done as a team. Because there are weekends… we have seen now, what Max experienced in the car because there is a small difference compared to me in the car. Maybe I had a better set up this weekend but the differences (in the adjustments) are only small and make a huge difference (on the track) in terms of race speed especially,” argued the Mexican.
“We still have a lot to improve and it was a very bad day for the championship with all the points we lost. But there are still 7 races and anything can happen. The positive thing is that today we have the speed to fight for the victory ,” he added. Czech’.
26 years later
7 races left and they need to improve a lot at Red Bull if they don’t want to lose the millions at stake on the Constructors’ title that McLaren hasn’t won since 1998. 26 years later, they can do it again.
