F1 | Red Bull, Christian Horner: "Mercedes too fast, but we won't stop"

A bittersweet qualifying for Christian Horner and Red Bull: on the one hand, the ever-present Max Verstappen, who will start from the second row, the first behind the two Mercedes, now from another planet. On the other hand, Alex Albon, at the center of the paddock chatter, who found himself with more than a few problems on his RB16. This prevented him from being able to clock up kilometers over the weekend.

"I would be lying if I said that today wasn't a frustrating day, especially looking at the gaps from Mercedes – began the Red Bull team principal – we know that the Silverstone track suits their car very well, but they are incredibly fast at the moment and all we can do is put as much pressure on them as possible.

"The wind had a great influence on the aerodynamics and performance, and therefore also on the driver. It was a disappointment for Alex and the team not to get into Q3, and the problems in FP3 didn't help him, especially after yesterday's problems. Max did a great job to get everything out of the car and place himself on the second row: this is our best qualifying here at Silverstone since 2016. We are focused on the gap with the Mercedes, and we still have a lot of work to do, but we won't stop Horner continued. our pace is more competitive in the race, so we hope to collect as many points as possible with both cars tomorrow".
