The Austrian team boss stated that Red Bull’s main objective is to have the best drivers in the Championship and pointed out that there are many drivers who want to be part of the Milton Keynes-based team. “As you can imagine, there is quite a bit of interest from certain quarters in driving a Red Bull car. Max is operating at such a level that his confidence, his commitment and his talent are absolute at the moment and it is difficult to imagine anyone beating him in the same team. But there is great talent out there and, of course, what we want are the two best drivers we can present,” he said.
Although Horner would be ruling out the continuity of ‘Checo’ Pérez beyond 2024, the director of Red Bull Racing showed his support for the Mexican driver after his poor performance at the Suzuka Circuit and was confident that Sergio will achieve good results. in the final stretch of the season. “Japan was frustrating and difficult for him, but he will recover. I’m sure he still has enough races left with the remaining six grands prix to achieve great results between now and the end of the season. He has at least some sort of ‘shock absorber’ for points for the weekend with respect to Lewis and greater than that over Fernando (Alonso)”, he commented.
