Red Bull boss Christian Horner has suggested Red Bull’s margin over the rest of the F1 field was “exaggerated” by th🍒eir choice to use the ꧟soft tyre in the second stint of Bahrain Grand Prix.

The reigning champions kicked off 2024 in dominant fashion🌺 with a 1-2 finish - their first since th♚e 2023 Italian Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen dominated the race in Bahrain from pole position, winning by over 20 seconds, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez recovered from fif♔th to secure second ahead of the two Ferra𒀰ris.

It means F1 could be set for another year of Red Bull domination, just after they nearly went thr♛ough the entire 2023 campaign invincﷺible.

However, Horner thinks the field will “converge” as the seas✃on progresses.

“Again, I’ve been in this business too long to draw too many conclusions from a single race,” he said. “It’s a fantastic start, we’ll enjoy this moment, maximum points scor🃏e.

“But it’s a long season, many different venues, different challenges, different conditions. And what we saw in the testing is that things are c🥂loser.

“Now we got it right this weekend, we took the right cars in𓆏to the race, we executed🔯 a perfect race with both cars and we got a great finish. But I think that it will converge.”

Red Bull were the only team to finish in the top 10 to switch to the softs for the final stint for the race whereas thei💜r rivals opte💙d for hards again.

🐬Horner felt that tyre choice 🉐handed Red Bull a significant advantage and made the gap bigger than it actually is.

“Yeah but look, everything’s relative, isn’t it? I think Checo came from P5, Max was obviously managing the race as many drivers are managi🧔ng different tires at different t🅷imes,” he added.

“It’s not a question of how much you win, it’s a question about winning, and we won today, Max dominated ♑the race, he was in a class of his ow🌺n.

“Checo drove an outstanding race as well, coming through the field from fifth on the grid, fastest lap, I think the back end of the race was exaggerated by the offset 💫of tires that we carried in, I’m surprised others didn’t carry softs into the race when it was clearly, in these conditions, the better tire to have.”
