F1 | Horner: “Ferrari still fearsome, they will solve the reliability problems”

Despite Max Verstappen's escape in the drivers' world championship and the reliability problems that are bringing Ferrari's world championship hopes to their knees, Christian Horner does not intend to underestimate the strength of the Scuderia di Maranello for the continuation of this uncertain and exciting 2022 Formula 1 world championship .

Interviewed by motorsport.com, the Red Bull Team Principal highlighted the qualities shown by the F1-75 in this first part of the season, also specifying how Verstappen's leadership in the world championship is the most striking example of how things can change quickly in Formula 1, especially in a world championship so full of innovations.

Horner, therefore, invited his team not to lower their guard, highlighting how the Milton Keynes team still has a long way to go before celebrating their second consecutive title.

“Ferrari can count on a very fast car, especially in qualifying, and up to now we have played on equal terms in almost every race we have run,” said the Red Bull Team Principal. “Without their problem I believe it would have gone the same way in Baku, at least as far as we saw in the first rounds of the race. They will solve their problems, I have no doubt about that, even if it means they will have to pay penalties over the course of the season. The championship is still long and everything can change. Over the last month and a half we have seen big changes in performance, confirming how quickly things can change. We were good at taking advantage of these situations, but nothing has been decided yet."
