Horner calls on Red Bull to ‘understand weaknesses’ after challenging Monaco GP weekend

Christian Horner has admitted that there will be plenty of analysis and learning at Red Bull following the Monaco Grand Prix, with the team struggling for performance throughout the weekend. Red Bull were knocked off their perch around the tight, twisty Monte Carlo venue, where drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez lacked confidence amid the RB20’s difficulties riding the kerbs and bumps. Following on from similar struggles at last year’s Singapore Grand Prix, Red Bull team boss Horner pointed to the “huge amount of data” the Milton Keynes outfit can now dig through and learn from. “Obviously this race is won on a Saturday and that’s where we had a poor day,” Horner reflected in his post-race media duties. “We need to understand that, understand what the issues were with the ride and the kerbs.”
