After the race, Hamilton called Red Bull’s 2023 car “the fastest car I𝐆 have seen”. 

He said: "I have definitely never seen a c𝄹ar so fast.

"When we were fast, we were not that fast.ꦐ That is the fastest car I have seen, especially compared to the rest.

"I d🍸on't know how, but he [Ver♒stappen] came past me with some serious speed and I didn't even bother to block him because there was a massive speed difference.

"Everyone w🍎ants to see a close battle, but it is the way it is. It is not my pro𒈔blem, it is not my fault.”

Verstappen topped first practice for the F1 Australian Grand Prix as Red Bull 🌃look for their first win at Albert Park since⛄ 2011.

Speaking to the media in betwe🐬en the two sessions on Friday, Horner was asked about Hamilton’s comment🤡s.

“Well it’s very flatte🌺ring particularly considering some of the cars Lewis has driven in recent history,” he said. 

“We’ve got a great car. RB19 is a fantastic starting point for the season for us and𝔉 to have achieved two 1-2 finishes in the first two races is more than we could have ever expected coming into this season.”

With Merꦍcedes and Ferrari planning substantial upgrades in the coming races, Horn🌱er is remaining cautious about Red Bull’s chances.

“We are conscious🐲 that it’s a very long season,” he added. “There’s still 21 races to go and six sprint races, and we’re conscious that big updates are coming to others in the coming weeks as we head back to Europe.

"There’s sti🐷ll a lot to do and there’s an awfu♌lly long way to go.”
