“I mean, winning nine times in a row is insane. Also, to have done this in the same team with another pilot… This was something none of us could have imagined.”
The Dutch GP was full of difficulties, especially the rain at the start and finish of the race, which made the grid very difficult.
"We encountered some difficulties, not only in the race but also in qualifying," Horner said. said.
“I think the team, Max and Checo, did really well in all conditions.”
“To get nine wins with Sebastian was very special and I never thought we would do it again.”
“To be here with Max and repeat what Sebastian did 10 years ago is very special, very special for him and for the team.”
“We went through some difficulties to have a good race this weekend.”
