Christian Horner has accepted that the 2019 Red Bull is tough to drive and knows the team have to do better than the poor results they have had so far.
Max Verstappen was denied a podium by the race ending under a safety car, but Pierre Gasly struggled once again, finishing down in eighth place.
Horner, team boss of Red Bull, said: “I think it’s a tricky car at the moment. Our operating window looks quite narrow and Max has coped with that extremely well.
"I think it’s been harder for Pierre. That will come I’m sure.
“Trying to understand where are our strengths/weaknesses to Ferrari here is quite important. Once you get into a window, particularly with these tyres, they looked a different team to two weeks ago. And vice versa with Mercedes.
