F1 | Red Bull, Horner: “I'm really proud of this team”

Shanghai – Another race, another podium. Fifteen years have passed since then Sebastian Vettel conquered, right in China in 2009, the first pole position and the first victory of Red Bull. Since Christian horner celebrated 117 times: these are Red Bull's total victories and now, history is being written Max Verstappen. This time too the Dutchman is uncatchable and not even the dynamics of the race affect him: he quickly returns to his natural place, manages, controls the pace and once again crosses the finish line in first position. It is the Dutchman's first victory in Shanghai. Excellent race too Sergio Perez, on the exact same strategy as his teammate - the mechanics performed two perfect double pit stops - but it was the Safety Car that penalized him and relegated him to third position. Checo still arrives on the podium, making the minimum wage: his thirst for victory is evident, but the constant podium is precisely what could ensure him a renewal and another year with Red Bull.

“It was a phenomenal weekend for the team, 117 victories fifteen years after the first one achieved here, it's a great moment for the team and personally I feel proud. We are very happy with the progress made. Max has been fantastic, since the start of the season, and is still on the podium accompanied by Checo, a great performance. We were on an aggressive two-stop strategy and were a bit unlucky with the safety car, which favored it Norris e Leclerc, but sometimes it goes like this – explains the team principal – they had a free stop and managed to overtake Checo on the track: he managed to regain his position on Charles, but he didn't have enough time to catch Lando too. Maybe we wore out the tires too quickly, but both drivers were great. The pit crew were incredible, with two double stops and this shows how the whole team continues to push limits, both on track and off the grid. Milton Keynes. I would also like to say thank you Exxon Mobil for their continued support and congratulations on 50 years of Mobil 1. We literally couldn't even get out of the pits without them!”
