Horner has bad news for Red Bull ahead of Bahrain qualifying

"The McLarens have been exceptionally quick through the practice sessions, all three sessions, particularly in the heat of day," Horner began to F1 TV.

According to the Red Bull team principal, unless the McLarens make a mistake, it is hard to imagine someone can beat them.

As Horner sees that catching McLaren seems to be out of question for this evening, Red Bull are focusing on the team's around them. The Woking-based team's performance particularly stands out compared to Red Bull's dominant period as well for the Briton.

He explained: "The gap [to McLaren], particularly in P3, in the heat of the day, was ‘wow’. That was beyond anything we ever saw in our most dominant time. So, yes, truly impressive."

"Different wind conditions now. And behind those two car it's pretty tight. So, you know, I think it's going to be a battle to be best of the rest this afternoon," the Briton concluded.
