“I took it back a bit, but basically not enough. When one tire has traction and the other doesn’t, that’s what happens. ”
Red Bull Team Leader, Christian Horner called the accident “frustrating”On the other hand, he is glad the car’s engine was not damaged and Albon used a transmission that would have been replaced in the first place.
“The monocoque is apparently fine, the engine is apparently fine and the gearbox was not designed for racing. The boys, on the other hand, will continue to be busy at night, ”said the team leader.
“It is difficult to express the damage in money, but it is significant when the car crashed into the rubber wall. At least three heels, if not four, were damaged, plus the rear wing, front wing, and nose cone. So the damage is significant. ”
Horner says for the rest of the weekend It’s important that Albon put the accident behind him.
“In Istanbul, and for part of the weekend so far, his feelings about the car have improved,” he said. “His comments were very consistent with Max’s comments.”
“So it’s a shame for this accident. You are not surrounded by medium tires so you will be at a disadvantage and that accident will not help either. But I hope tomorrow is a better day. “
