Red Bull hoping for wet qualifying

Rain has been around today, with FP3 greatly affected. We haven’t seen a wet qualifying session this year, so today’s session could be very interesting, and Red Bull are hoping for the rain to stick around.

This is the first French Grand Prix qualifying session for ten years, and much unlike the South of France in late June, there is the real possibility of rain.

Red Bull’s principal Christian Horner has told Sky Sports F1 that they are hoping for the rain to stick around to mix the grid up a bit.

“The best thing for this race would be to mix the grid up a bit,” he said.

“Overtaking is going the be really tough here, if you have the fastest car at the front you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to work out what’s going to happen.

“Mix it up a bit, which these conditions can do, you’ll get a good race.”

Horner also said that he believes the race will be a one-stop race, as long as the weather stays dry.

Max Verstappen has shown that he is a fantastic wet-weather driver in the past, so the Red Bull man will be hoping for rain to aid him in the race tomorrow.
