Horner claims that Perez's reservations regarding Verstappen's speed in the final laps of the SaudiArabianGP were 'normal' and justified. F1
Leader Perez and his Red Bull team-mate Verstappen were pushing hard in the final laps of the Jeddah race, with the Mexican successfully maintaining the gap.
Eventually, the team gave the go-ahead for both drivers to continue to push before they managed the pace once again when it became clear that Verstappen could not catch Perez. "I think the biggest point of concern for us during the grand prix was when Max radioed in with about 15 laps to go saying he heard a high-pitched noise at high speed, and so your heart immediately sinks, thinking about the driveshaft failure of yesterday.
"There's always going to be that when you're the lead car," he said."You always want to know that the tail car has hit the target first. So that's entirely normal. I think for us as a team, we were concerned about if there was a reliability issue, how do we manage that?
