Red Bull has been soaring on the tracks and winning races one after the other. These 13 consecutive victories by the Red Bull team, however, have a secret ingredient to them. Christian Horner has been heard talking about Red Bull’s success and how far Max Verstappen has come. But recently the team boss also confessed to what seems to be the “secret magic” behind this success.
Red Bull first started as a third or fourth-fastest car on the grid. While Mercedes was annihilating every single race, RB was in the back, threading along. However, in no time Red Bull started to fight against Mercedes. While Hamilton was once winning races, he was now being given competition by Max Verstappen. Verstappen rose to the top after winning a battle with the Mercedes.
After their success in the 2021 season, the Bulls have been dominating. Verstappen singlehandedly won 15 races in one season. After bagging his second World Championship, he has come back to claim his first spot. Within the 2023 season, Max Verstappen has won 10 of the first 12 races. He also brought Red Bull their 13th consecutive win. Red Bull also hit their 100th win of their team.
Christian Horner Is Grateful to Everyone for Max Verstappen Winning
Recently, Christian Horner was asked about the secret behind their untimely dominance. After winning every single race until the summer break all the eyes turned to them. Horner however seemed to have a “secret” behind their success.
When talking to Motorsport.com Christian Horner revealed how important everyone’s contribution is. He said, “And look, results like [Spa] are the combination of teamwork and that’s why you guys have seen Greg [Reeson], our garage technician that looks after all the tires in the garage, to go and get the constructors’ trophy today.”
“Because it’s about every member of the team, every department in the factory doing their job, you don’t achieve these kinds of results by accident.”
Christian Horner believes, it was not just Max Verstappen who brought them wins, it was everyone who was involved. From the tires to the engines to Max Verstappen’s comfort in the car. All of it had people working continuously to achieve it. The team boss called out everyone who helped the Red Bull car to reach its ultimate success.
While the summer break continues to be in session, Horner has also revealed to be focusing on the 2024 car. The team who once announced they will be having more upgrades is now saying otherwise. However, they are taking this time to put more focus on their 2024 car.
