Horner confident ahead of race: 'We are still in a better position'

During qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc was again just too fast. Still, Christian Horner thinks his team will be faster during the race.

Qualifying is Melbourne was quite chaotic, with no less than two red flags, ultimately extending the event by half an hour in total. Once again it was Red Bull Racing and Ferrari at the top and for a long time it was unclear who would capture pole position.

In the end it was Charles Leclerc again, but Christian Horner is certainly not dissatisfied with the performance of his drivers. Indeed, the team boss states that they both did a "great job," in Red Bull Racing's press release. According to Horner, it looked like they would both 'possibly take pole position', but so that position went to Ferrari's big rival.

The Briton sees Red Bull Racing's chances tomorrow as good. "I think we are still in a better position with more fuel in the car and with all the DRS zones it could be an interesting race."

What is another advantage for Red Bull Racing is that it is two against one. Carlos Sainz did not finish at the front, but has to make do with the ninth starting spot. The Spaniard is therefore anything but happy with how everything went during qualifying.
