Max Verstappen finished second behind Lando Norris at the Miami Grand Prix and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has explained why he felt that was a 'pretty decent result'
Red Bull chief Christian Horner has insisted Max Verstappen's second place finish at the Miami Grand Prix was a "pretty decent result" after he suffered major damage in a collision on Lap 20.
"He hit the bollard around Lap 20 and that's actually done quite a lot of damage to the underside of the car," Horner revealed after the race. "So we'll have to look at exactly what the effects of that was. "But, obviously, not great for us because then you're on tyres six or seven laps older. And with the damage, I think that actually second place was actually still a pretty decent result.
Verstappen, meanwhile, congratulated Norris on his victory and vowed that Red Bull will "come back stronger" in Italy. "I'm very happy for Lando, it's been a long time coming and it's not going to be his last one, so he definitely deserves it today.
