Christian Horner counters Adrian Newey’s ‘inexperience’ claim as cause of Red Bull’s struggles
Christian Horner responds to Adrian 🀅Newey's claim that 'inexperience' led Red Bull down the wrongꦚ path in 2024.
Christian Horn𝕴er countered Adrian Newey’s claim that a “lack of🍌 experience” was behind Red Bull’s mid-season dip in performance.
Newey’s departure from Red Bull last year coincided with the F1 team’s drop down the pecking order.
Red Bull were out-performed by McLaren and Ferrari for much of the second half of the season as they fell to third in the constꦍr💝uctors' championship.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen hu𓃲ng on to win the drivers’ championship after winning seven of෴ the opening ten races.
After that, he won just two of the subs൩equent 14 races, highlighting how difficult it was for Red Bull in the second half of the campaign.
In an off-season interview with German publication AMuS, Newey said ♌of Red Bull’s issues in 2024: “From what I can see from the outside, but I don’t know, the guys at Red Bull - this is no criticism - they just perhaps through lack of experience kept going in that same direction.
“The problem came more and more acute to the🔯꧑ point that even Max found it difficult to drive.”
Newey will start work with Aston Martin as their managing technical partner✤ fr🐷om early March.
Red Bull’s issues were “deep-rooted”
Before Tuesday's F1 75 Live event, Horner wa♎s quizzed on Newey’s comments.
Horner was keen to poওint out that tౠhe issues faced with the RB20 were “deep-rooted” and were traced back to their dominant 2023 season.
“I’m not sure I haven’t seen those comments, but I think the issues are more deep-rooted ꦉthan just last year,” Horner told media, including .
“When you really dig into the data and some of the characteristics, you start to see them much earlier than that, certainly 🍸during 2023.
“It was a matter of unravelling it🤪 to understand what were the contributing factors to having a very peaky performance. I think that’s where the team have worked very hard to understand that and address it.”
Verstappen wiౠll look to win a fifth straight drivers’ title in 202ܫ5.
If he does, he will become the first driver to win five in a row since 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher (2000-2004).
