From the summer break onwards at Red Bullu it no longer goes as desired. If Max verstapen got two of the four races before the end of the first half of the championship are red bulls in five races of the second half won only one step. Christian horner explains that it was just a race in Singapore, where Verstappen won third place, the biggest disappointment the second part of the season. “Singapore was hilarious as we performed there below our level. We couldn’t get the full potential out of the race car." Reason they have meanwhile already found. “It was mainly a problem with setting up the car. Nevertheless, we won the podium and beat both Mercedes."
But because of that, they weren’t overly satisfied, because in Singapore they counted to the greatest chance of winning in all races after the summer break. “Russia went as we expected to some extent,” he says Horner. He is there Red Bull achieved places four and five. Yes c Belgium in Italy they will not uproot trees, it was clear before that because of penalties for the addition of places, which they earned by exchange engine components. "I hope we can be competitive in the remaining four races," so Horner, which adds that at that time they are much closer to the top than twelve months ago.
It also confirms this look at the table. He has it right now Max Verstappen 212 points, at the same time last year he only had them 173. Part of this progress is also borne by the new Honda motor partner. Taken as a whole, they are considered Horner many good things have happened this year, among others ever better cooperation with the Japanese. Horner points out that Honda engine improved with each specification. The Briton adds that this year’s season was one way or another transitional year, however, hopes that their participation in the season 2020 paid off in full.
Team boss Red Bull further clarifies that they have worked on in recent months launch for the 2020 season. Because then they want red bulls again to attack the title of Formula 1 champion - the first after 2013. Before that, they are still on the program the last four races this year’s championship. And for these races it is Max Verstappen skeptically announced that does not count to win by the end of the season another victory.
