Red Bull playing catch-up ‘from encouraging position’ – Horner

Red Bull boss Christian Horner believes the squad has “a very good direction” for development of its RB18 and says its current position is encouraging.

Red Bull claimed pole position and victory in Saudi Arabia but holds only third in the Constructors’ Championship after faltering elsewhere.

Despite its in-race failures in Bahrain and Australia it had the second-fastest package, behind Ferrari, albeit sizeably so at the most recent of those events.

“I think they started this project a lot earlier than we did,” said Horner on Ferrari.

“So to a degree, we’re playing catch up. But the fact that we’re playing catch up from the second fastest position is encouraging. We’re starting to understand some of the issues that we have.

“I think it’s all part of the development and evolution of these cars. As we learn more about the tyres and how the car’s performing, that gives you a development direction.

“Over the first few races we’ve got some very good direction for the development vein for the rest of the season.”

Horner added that minor parts will be available for the RB18 at Imola next weekend but that a sizeable upgrade is not in the works due to the return of F1 Sprint.

“Being a Sprint Race, you get very little time to evaluate these things,” he said. “We’ve got one session and then into qualifying.

“You got to be very confident about what you’re putting on the car.”
