The Red Bull Team Principal believes Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton were given a boost by red flags in Mexico as the Briton took another step towards Sergio Perez’s second position in the F1 Drivers’ standings.
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner believes that Mercedes benefited from fortunate timing with red flags during the Mexico City Grand Prix. Despite Hamilton’s second-place finish, Horner believes that the Ferraris would have beaten Mercedes if it wasn’t for the strategic opportunity created by the race stoppage. However, Horner acknowledged that Mercedes had good speed and managed their tires well throughout the year. Looking ahead to the São Paulo Grand Prix, Mercedes has historically performed well at Interlagos and Horner expects them to be competitive. Red Bull, on the other hand, aims to address last year’s setup issues and improve their performance this year.
