Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes that Max Verstappen sustained damage during the Miami Grand Prix that hindered his chances of winning, even though Verstappen himself did not feel any difference in the car. Verstappen was leading the race but damaged the car by cutting a chicane and hitting a bollard, allowing competitors to close in. Horner mentioned that the damage affected the car’s balance and likely played a significant role in losing the lead to Lando Norris. Despite the setback, Red Bull still managed to score valuable points in both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships. Verstappen, on the other hand, stated that he did not notice any difference in the car’s performance after the incident and refused to speculate on what could have happened if the safety car had not come out. Ultimately, Lando Norris claimed his first victory in a well-timed race that saw various strategies and challenges for the teams.
