Red Bull boss Christian Horner has suggested Red Bull’s margin over the rest of the F1 field was “♕exaggerated” by their choice to use the soft tyr💞e in the second stint of Bahrain Grand Prix.

The reigning champions kicked off 2024 in dominant fashion with a 1-2 fini🔯sh - their first since the 20💎23 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 recover🃏ed from 🌜fifth to secure second ahead of the two Ferraris.

It means F1 could be set for another year of Red Bull domination, just after they nearl🦄y went through the entire 2023 campaign invincible.

However🐎, Horner thinks the field will “converge” as the seaso꧃n progresses.

“Again, I’ve bee💯n in this business to💝o long to draw too many conclusions from a single race,” he said. “It’s a fantastic start, we’ll enjoy this moment, maximum points score.

“But it’s a long season, many different venues, different challenges, different conditions. And what wꦓe saw in the testing is that thinꦉgs are closer.

“Now we got it right this weekend, we took the right cars into 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 their rivals opted for hards again.

Horner felt that tyre choice handed Red𓃲 Bull a si𒉰gnificant 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 managing𒁃 the race as many drivers are managing different tires at d⛎ifferent times,” he added.

“It’s not a question of hoꦐw much you win, it’s a question about winning, and we won today, Max dom🌠inated the race, he was in a class of his own.

“Checo drove an outstanding race as well, coming through the field from fifth on the 𝓰grid, 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 cleaꦡrly, in these conditions, the better tire to have.”
