Christian Horner rejects Red Bull ‘eureka moment’ in McLaren pursuit
Christian Horner believes that there is no “eureka moment” for Red Bull to match McLaren’s advantage in the F1 championship race. McLaren dominated the Miami GP, with Oscar Piastri finishing almost 40 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen due to better tyre performance on the MCL39. Horner acknowledges McLaren’s superior thermal management of their tyres, but he thinks there is no single improvement that Red Bull can make to close the gap. Despite Miami’s race revealing issues for Red Bull, Horner considers it as a one-off problem. The braking issues further exacerbated Red Bull’s difficulties by causing overheating, leading to a loss of control. Ultimately, McLaren’s ability to maintain optimal tyre temperatures on specific tracks like Miami has given them an edge over Red Bull.
