Horner faced with choice: 'I'd rather fix a fast car'

Red Bull Racing's season has been dominated by problems so far this season. While Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen both had to retire during the Bahrain Grand Prix, it was only the Dutchman who crashed out in Australia. Nevertheless, Christian Horner remains confident.

Just last season, the team boss of the Austrian racing outfit saw what his team is capable of. Red Bull was convinced throughout the season and thus managed to beat Mercedes. It resulted in a world title for the first time since 2013.

In the new season, however, the situation is different. Red Bull may have built a car that can compete with Ferrari, but the reliability of the car is still not high. After the GP in Australia Verstappen was obviously very grumpy.

However, Horner chooses to remain positive about the situation. In conversation with Sky Sports, he stated that he is satisfied with the basis of the car despite all the problems. "I'd rather fix a fast car, than make a reliable slow car fast," the team boss stated, seeming to point to Mercedes.
