Christian Horner believes Mercedes had a “stroke of luck” with the red flag in Mexico otherwise the one-stopping Lewis Hamilton would’ve lost to the Ferraris.
Verstappen took the chequered flag 13.8s ahead of Hamilton with pole-sitter Charles Leclerc falling to third.Magnussen was able to climb out of the car without any injuries, but the crash caused a red flag due to the lengthy repairs needed to be made to the barrier.“They had a bit of a stroke of luck because they went in very early for a one-stop strategy,” he told Viaplay. “I think in the end they would have been beaten by the Ferraris.
Red Bull, though, also had a moment of luck when Ferrari opted to put Leclerc on a set of hard tyres for the restart with the Briton admitting they were worried Ferrari would go for the mediums.
