Red Bull were lucky to come away with the front row for the Chinese Grand Prix, Christian Horner has admitted...
Christian Horner has explained that, with hindsight, Red Bull were lucky to get Sergio Perez through Q1 in qualifying for the Chinese GP.
The Mexican driver only did one run in Q1, having come out on track on soft tyres at the start of qualifying only to abort his initial flying lap. Coming back out to try again on the same tyres, Perez’s one and only time of 1:35.547 initially had him in sixth place – only to fall back to 15th as others improved due to the track evolution.
“Well, the track was evolving quickly and I think with hindsight, we probably should have run another new set of tyres,” he told Sky F1. Having weathered the close call and going on to claim second on the grid, Perez explained qualifying from his perspective after securing the Red Bull 1-2.“I nearly got knocked out in Q1, I had traffic with one of the Williams, I had to abort my lap, came back, went on hot used tires, and just made it through, P15.
