Horner sees opportunity from the second row: "Effect of weather interesting"

Red Bull Racing had a very difficult weekend at the Italian Grand Prix. The expectation was that things would go better at Mugello, but still the relief that the team is so close to Mercedes is noticeable. The words of Christian Horner after qualifying also show this.

From that second row, a lot is still possible this weekend. The circuit of Mugello is notorious for its rough asphalt and in combination with the temperatures the tyres will have a hard time. During the free practice sessions on Friday the drivers said that this was not too bad, but really long stints were not driven and on Sunday it will be a few degrees warmer.

"It’s going to be interesting to see what effect the warm weather has on strategies and of course there’s no historic data here so you’ve got to be prepared to be reactive. The drivers are really enjoying this circuit, it’s a fast old school track so let’s hope it produces a great race tomorrow,” Horner said.
