Reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen wasn’t entirely comfortable ꦆslotting into second briefly before being out-qualified by teammate Sergio Perez for the second race in a row.

Red Bull haven’t taken pole position in the last three races but they’ve taken wins each time, with their straig🔜ht-line speed advantage and good strategy choices making the difference against Ferrari.

Horner remains confident Red Bull can win the race despite missing out on po𒁃le position again.

“I thought over a single lap Ferrari had🐻 the edge but I think we’ve shown so far this year on Sundays we’ve had a good♓ and competitive race car, at a track where you can overtake at.

“We can give them a hard time tomorrow.”

Red Bull en🎀joyed a 9kph straight-line speed advantage over Fer⭕rari in qualifying, which could prove to be crucial in deciding the outcome of Sunday’s race.

“Well it’s such a long straight here and the DRS effect is pretty powerful but of course, you’ve goꦚt to be close enough in the middle sector so it will be all about 🎃going with them, convert the start,” Horner added. 

“A gr🙈eat performance by both the cars, Checo carrying that confidence from Monaco at a track he’s always excelled at here and without the benefit of any tow, a good lap for him. 

“We’ve focused more on tomorrow than today, and we’re second and third. We’ve seen this year some great racing between ourselves and Ferrari, and I think t🐬his year’s cars have demonstrated you can follow a bit closer and you can overtake so we will be hoping to make use of that tomorrow.”
