Christian Horner has hinted that Red Bull will look to improve the RB20 with a 𒅌number of “developments” thr൲oughout the summer following a difficult Monaco Grand Prix.

Red Bull have been on the backfoot this weekend, struggl🔯ing with the low-speed, bumpy nature of the Monaco circuit.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen looked like he could have challenged for a fro🐭nt row start but brushed the wall into Turn 💃1 on his final run.

Unable to improve on his initial Q3 lap, Verstappen was left to secure sixth on the grid - his worst qualifying re💟sult of the season so far having taken eight c𓄧onsecutive pole positions previously.

Reflecting on qualifying in Monaco, Horner said: “It’s been a struggle all weekend. The car hasn’t suited the characteristics of this circuit. I don’t think we would have beaten Charles today. Potentially second to sixth was on. Unfortunately, we didn’t get that lasꦡt run in.

“It’s something we need to understand. The first sector was strong. It was mainly the tight hairpin, and Turn 5 and Turn 10, which were weak areas. The race is pretty much done, barring a Safety🌌 Car and so on. We’ll come back fighti🔯ng tomorrow.”

In ꧅recent races, Ferrari and McLaren have introduced significant upgrades to their cars - something Red Bull haven’t don🐻e.

I🔯n Miami and Imola, McLaren arguably had a quicker car than Red Bull, and in Monaco, i🍃t appears Ferrari are ahead.

It’s not the first time Red Bull have struggled at a street venue either, coming 🎀unstuck at the Singapore Grand Prix last year.

Horner revealed that Red Bull will apply༒ what they learned last year to improve the RB20 throughout this campaign.

“Look at the pole ꧒time, it’s quicker than last year,” he added. “The cars have converged. There is a concept they have followed, from the RB20. 

“We’re in year 🔯three of these regs, there are dim🐠inishing returns. Last year was a unicorn year to win all of those races. We have applied the lessons to the RB20 and there are developments to make to improve this car through the summer.”

In terms of the championship race, Verstappen’s lead will be reduced to just 31 points if he finishes in sixth and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc goes on to win the race.

How꧋ever, Horner has vowed against complacency given there’s still s🍰o many races left.

“You never take anytജhing for granted,” he explained. “Things 𒉰can change. We’re in a commanding position in both championships but it can change. We’re only one third through the year, and there are a lot of races and points still available.

“There is no complacency. If we can’t win tomorrow, we win ꦇas many points as possible, and come back in Montreal.”
