Christian Horner has hinted that Red Bull will look to improve the RB20 🐈with a number of “developmenꦦts” throughout the summer following a difficult Monaco Grand Prix.

Red Bull have been on the backfoot this weekend, struggling with t꧑he low-speed, bumpy nature of the Monaco circuit.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen looked like he coul🐼d have cha🌌llenged for a front row start but brushed the wall into Turn 1 on his final run.

Unable to improve on his initial Q3 lap, Verstappen was left to 💎secure sixth on the gridꩲ - his worst qualifying result of the season so far having taken eight consecutive pole positions previously.

Reflecting on qualifying in Monaco, Horner said: “It’s been a struggle all week♏end. The car hasn’t suited the characteristics of this circuit. I don’t think we would have beaten Charles today. Potentially second to sixth was on. Unfortunately, we didn’t get that last run in.

“It’s something we need to un💜derstand. The first sector was strong. It was mainly the tight hairpin, and Turn 5 and Turn 10, which were weak areas. The race is pretty much done, barring a Safety Car and so on. We’ll come back fighting tomorrow.”

In recent ♔races, Ferrari and McLaren have introduced significant upgrades to their cars - something Red Bull 🌳haven’t done.

In Miami and Imola, McLaren arguably had a quicker car than Red Bull, and in Monaco, it appears Ferrari ar꧒e ahead.

It’s not the first time Red Bull have struggle🌜d at a street venue either, coming unstuck at the Singapore Grand ꦬPrix last year.

Horner revealed that Red Bull will apply what they learned last year to improve the RB20 thro🧸ughout this campaign.

“Look at the pole time, it’s qui💧cker than last year,” he added. “The cars have converged. There is a concept they have followed, from the RB20. 

“We’re in year three of these regs, there are diminishing returns. Last year was a unicorn year to win all of those races. We have ap🐟plied the lessons to the RB20 and there are developments to make to improve this car through the summer🐲.”

In terms of the championship race, Verstappen’s lead will be reduced to just 31 points if he finishes in sixth and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc goes on to win the race.

♊However, Horner has vowed against complacency given🌃 there’s still so many races left.

“You never𒁏 take anything for granted,” he explained. “Things can change. We’re in a commanding position in both ch𝓡ampionships but it can change. We’re only one third through the year, and there are a lot of races and points still available.

“Tꦗhere is no complacency. If ❀we can’t win tomorrow, we win as many points as possible, and come back in Montreal.”
