F1 | Horner celebrates Red Bull's XNUMXth pole position

Shanghai – Another successful day for Christian horner , Red Bull. Max Verstappen wins the victory in Sprint Race from fourth position, then repeats himself in qualifying, winning the hundredth pole of the Austrian team, here where he achieved the first pole in his history with Sebastian Vettel in 2009. This is also the fifth consecutive pole since the start of the season for the Dutchman. Excellent performance too Sergio Perez, who achieved the podium in the Sprint, with third place, and the front row in qualifying after almost losing his entry ticket to Q2. The Mexican receives praise from the team principal, who seems to suggest the possibility of a renewal, but to deserve it Checo will have to be consistent and complete the work in the race.

Horner: “We can be proud of these performances”

“A fantastic qualification that concludes an equally fantastic performance for the team. The track was constantly evolving and both drivers were great. Max dominated in both sessions, resuming qualifying at the same pace as the Sprint, and Checo was also very good. He started this season with a new mentality, he is relaxed and focusing on his goals, and all this is evident in the results: he is exactly where he should be – declared the team principal – the victory in the Sprint, the front row and our hundredth pole fifteen years after the first one we achieved right here in Shanghai, we can be proud of these performances. Tomorrow is another day, but for now we enjoy these successes resulting from the efforts of the team here on the track and elsewhere Milton Keynes. Really great work."
