F1 | Red Bull, Horner: “It was one of Verstappen's best performances”

St. Paul - The Red Bull di Christian horner returns to winning ways, and does so with a brilliant performance by Max Verstappen under the rain.

After a disastrous qualifying all seemed lost: Verstappen was furious, with the race direction and with the FIA, almost as if everything was against him. Plus, the five-second penalty: the three-time world champion found himself having to come back from seventeenth position and he didn't make a single mistake, not even by mistake. His RB20 seems to be the one from the beginning of the season, Max is confident, he doesn't hesitate even for a moment, and waits for the right moment until the red flag. With a free tire change behind him, the Dutchman concludes his last part of the race in the lead, marking seventeen fastest laps. It's super Max, and he's back.

Eleventh, instead, Sergio Perez, who succumbs again in yet another fight with the Racing Bulls di Liam Lawson..

Horner: “The team has shown that we will not give up”

“Max's was a masterclass, he was brilliant. In these conditions the driver emerges and he was in a higher category. We made the right choices with the strategy and the car had great pace. What a transformation compared to qualifying, we thought we needed a miracle to get into the top five. Going from seventeenth place, overtaking the entire grid, was incredible, one of Max's best performances. Checo had a great weekend, even if there were some unlucky moments during the race. The team showed that we will not give up, the team showed it on the track, but also at the Milton Keynes. What a great result for the team, we are enjoying the moment before the last three races of the season”.
