At that point, Verstappen had a comfortable buffer over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, however, ahead of the race, Red Bull had already committed to a two-stop strategy with two hard tyr💞es left in their allocation.

Speaking after the race, Horner made reference to Mateschitz - wh🔜o passed away just over 12 mont𝕴hs ago.

“Dietrich used to tell us ‘no risꦫk, no fun’,” Horner said. “We went into the race thinking the compounds were all a step softer. We felt that it was on the limit last year.

“We took two sets of hard tyres into the race so let’s go f🌺or a two-stop, and see if it works.

“It meant that we’d lose track position but we fe🎀lt that we had the pace to come back and win it on a two-stop.

“It would have been really competitive. It got neutralised by the🀅 red flag. I was relieved to see Ferrari put a set of hard tyres on the car, not mediums.”

Both Red Bulls made fantastic starts from third and fifth on the grid respecti🌳vely.

Horner heaped praise on his eng🐽ineers for improviไng that element of the RB19.

“Our starts haven’t been our strongest point this year,” he added. “There has been a variance to them, and that’s because it’s so difficult to manage the torque, and everything that’s going onဣ. The control guys did a great job today. 

“Great starts from Checo and Max in the first🎃 run. Then at the restart, Max getting that blinder, as well.”
