Red Bull’s Christian Horner lands cheeky pair of swipes at George Russell after British Grand Prix.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner subtly criticized Mercedes driver George Russell after the British Grand Prix, mentioning the incident involving McLaren’s Oscar Piastri’s penalty for erratic driving during a restart at Silverstone.
Horner’s remark about Russell was related to Red Bull’s past protest against him for unsportsmanlike conduct in the Canadian Grand Prix.
Despite Red Bull’s low downforce strategy paying off with a pole position for Max Verstappen in dry conditions, the gamble backfired in the wet race.
Horner acknowledged that the forecast and the team’s setup decisions didn’t anticipate the heavy rain that impacted Verstappen’s performance during the race.
Overall, Red Bull faced challenges during the wet race but felt they had the potential for a podium finish if circumstances had been different.
