Monaco GP: Christian Horner overwhelmed with Lewis Hamilton in P7

Lewis Hamilton and Christian Horner

Over the past few weeks Red Bull Boss Christian Horner has evidently shown his dismay with the 7-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton. After the latter’s struggles in Monaco GP Qualifying Session, one can believe that it would give no one more happiness than Horner. Not only that Max Verstappen that Red Bull took full advantage of Lewis Hamilton’s slip up by finishing in P2. 

If it wasn’t for the red flag Verstappen would have gone onto even clinch P1, but as things stands Christian Horner has got everything going his way at the moment after the Monaco GP Qualifying Session.

So, while Horner would have loved to see Verstappen start from pole, he preferred to give it a positive spin, that being the fact that their main title rival Hamilton is set to start from all the way down in P7, at a race where overtaking is extremely challenging.

“It’s one of those things, red flag at the end of the session it was just crescendoing and Max had really hooked it up on that last lap,” Horner told Sky F1. 

“On the data he was two-and-a-half tenths up at the point that he had to abort, that’s why he was so frustrated. I think obviously the immediate disappointment is ‘argh, we should have got that last lap’, to get pole here you know how important that is. 

“There is that frustration, but then you have to look at the glass half full rather than half empty. Our main rival, Hamilton in P7, that’s not a bad afternoon.”

Ferrari have without doubt proven the shock of the weekend so far in Monaco, but Horner welcomes their return to the battle at the front. 

After all, it makes Hamilton’s job harder come race day as he tries to undo the damage of qualifying. 

“I think they have been super fast all weekend,” concluded Christian Horner.
