Christian Horner praised his teams' performance after Max Verstappen managed to take steps on the podium. A podium which notched up their 150th in just 250 races.
This feat takes them up to 6th in the all-time amount of team podiums in F1. Mercedes (161), Lotus (172), Williams (312), McLaren (458) and Ferrari (732).
Horner expressed his delight over this and Verstappen’s drive on Sunday.
“A solid performance - picking up a podium, and our 150th podium which is notable and deserved achievement for the team.
“It’s also Max’s first podium of the season which will be a good confidence boost for him after enduring a tricky first four races.”
Verstappen’s race didn't go without a little bit of drama and a missing section of his front wing. Horner alluded to this and suggested he could have done even better.
“Unfortunately Max sustained some damage in contact with the Williams of Lance Stroll under the Virtual Safety car, but even with that damage he had enough pace in hand to maintain track position.”
