Christian Horner: "Great to see such a strong crowd"

Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing's Team Principal, had the following to say after the Austrian Grand Prix: “A fantastic race from Daniel after making a good start, including a good passing move on the fast starting Haas of Romain Grosjean. He then drove a very disciplined race; consistently and competitively. He came under serious challenge from Lewis in the closing laps but defended firmly and fairly and it was great to see him on the podium at our home grand prix, for his fifth consecutive podium.”

“Max’s car unfortunately went into anti-stall on the grid which caused a slow getaway. He was out of positon and then got collected after an incident between Daniil Kvyat and Fernando Alonso which turned him round at the first corner and thereafter had an issue which looks like the clutch. We’ll have to get the car back to understand if it was a result of the incident or what happened off the start line. It’s been great to see such a strong crowd at the Red Bull Ring supporting the Austrian Grand Prix, it looks like it’s been a really enjoyable weekend for all of the fans.”
