Christian Horner, CEO and team principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, said after the sprintrace and qualifying of the Qatar Grand Prix: “We changed a lot of things on the car and we have given Max a car that he has been able to go out and deliver the pole in. That’s our first official pole since Austria, so that is fantastic for everyone and a great team effort. Checo made similar set-up changes to Max, his were a little less aggressive and it was good to see him in Q3. It was an important qualifying for the team and it is great to be starting from the front for the race tomorrow. Hopefully the changes we made to the car for qualifying can play out in the race as well and we have a successful Sunday.”
