Christian Horner is very pleased with Max Verstappen's performance in the qualifying. A good result according to the team boss, who also commented on Yuki Tsunoda's crash.

‘’It was an interesting qualifying. It's very nice to be on the front row. The differences are so small. He (Max Verstappen) had a powerful first sector, but then he had some understeer in the middle sector. But the margins are so small, it's all part of the game. However, it's great to be on the front row,’’ said Horner on Viaplay.

Horner Reacts to Verstappen's Lap

Horner saw his other driver crash hard during Q1. Horner about this: ‘’Of course, it's a heavy crash for him. The most important thing is that he is okay. A car can always be repaired, so it's important that a driver is okay. It means the mechanics have long work tonight. We need to understand exactly what happened.’’

Horner did have an idea about it: ‘’I think he was just a bit too eager on the left side of that curb. That's the price you sometimes pay,’’ concluded Horner.
