Christian Horner has hinted that Red Bull will look to improve the RB20 with a𒊎 number of “developments” throughout the summer following a diffic꧃ult Monaco Grand Prix.

Red Bull have been on the backfoot this weeken🌠d, struggling with the low-speed, bumpy nature of the Monacoꦡ circuit.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen looked like he could have challenged for a f🅺ront 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 sixthꦗ on the grid - his worst qualifying result of the season♎ so far having taken eight consecutive 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 se🐲cond to sixth was on. Unfortunately, we didn’t get that last run in.

“It’s something we need to undeꦬrstand. 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 fighting tomorrow.”

In recent races, Ferrari and McLaren have introduced significant upgrades to their cars - so𝐆mething Red Bull haven’t done.

In Miami and Imola, Mc♍Laren arguably had a quicker car than Red Bull, and in Monaco, it appears Ferrari are ahead.

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

Horner revealed tha﷽t Red Bull will apply what they learned last year to improve the RB20 throughout this campaign.

“Look at tꦇhe pole time, 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 𝔍of these regs, there are diminishing returns. Last year was a unicorn y🎉ear 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5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc goes on to win the race.

However, Horner has vowed against c💛omplacency given there’s still so many races left.

“🌞You never take anything for gra💟nted,” he explained. “Things can 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 as many points as possible🍨, and come back in Montreal.”
