Formula 1 | Red Bull, Horner fully promotes the collaboration with Honda
Horner: "We expected a transition year, but in the end Honda proved to be up to the task"
At the end of an absolutely positive season, Christian Horner promoted the development work carried out by Red Bull in collaboration with Honda, underlining how the duo managed to exceed the expectations and objectives at the beginning of the season.
Thanks to a clear and direct collaboration, in fact, Honda managed to develop its power unit in the correct way, an aspect that led Red Bull to achieve three successes and two pole positions (three if we consider the one in Mexico City. Ed. ).
Important results, absolutely unexpected at the beginning of this year, which the Austrian team hopes to improve during the next season.
“The collaboration has worked great since the first GP,” said Christian Horner. “We finished the first race of the season on the podium and subsequently other good results arrived. Max won the first pole of his career and in general we climbed to the top step of hatred three times. No one would have ever imagined it."
“We expected a year of transition, but in the end Honda proved to be up to the task” he continued. “Reliability and performance have improved from race to race.”
Regarding 2020 he added: “We can play an antagonistic role, given that we have developed the car in the correct way and around the Honda unit. There is a gap to fill and we have to work hard to reach their standard. The positive thing is that we are increasingly closer to our target."
