“It is clear that one of these four best teams is a front wing or a floor far from an upgrade to go,” these are those that we now have to hunt “. I think that the warmer time plays a little of our strengths, so I think that is why we may have a little faster during the day in Saudi and Bahrain.” I hope the theory is faster because it goes hot in Miami. “”
Horner, on the other hand, said that Verstappen had nowhere to go during the battle with Piastri when he speaks to Sky Sports F1.

When asked if there had been a conversation to restore the place – or if the emphasis was more on the break of the five -second window – Horner replied: “We had this kind of discussion with the director of the race before the race through information sessions and anything else.
“We have this notion of” letting run “- I don’t know where Max was supposed to go to this first turn. We lost the race by (2.8) seconds, so yes, it’s difficult. I think the most positive thing for us today was the pace – it was a very positive race. Congratulations to Oscar, but (it’s) disappointing not to have victory. “
Horner then thought about the rhythm of the team’s race during the first visit, adding: “We attracted a gap. Let’s not forget on Friday, McLaren was 1,2 s on everyone.
“Max felt at ease there. He withdrew the gap, we tried to get the gap at the stand at the stand even with the penalty, but that was not the case. (We had) good points, important points today. We are only 12 points in the advance of the championship, we took some points from Lando (Norris), so yes, everything to play.”
