Christian Horner Sheds Light On His Pre-British GP BBQ With F1 Grid
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has revealed that he hosted a barbecue with the F1 drivers at his home ahead of the British Grand Prix this weekend.
Speaking during the race weekend in Silverstone, Horner explained that he could see the driver's "eyes light up" when they spoke about various different on-track moments.
Max Verstappen won the iconic race, making it his sixth consecutive win and his eighth of the season so far. Joining the Dutch driver on the podium were Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton who finished second and third, respectively. When asked if he thinks winning every race will bore Verstappen, Horner responded:
"You can see he enjoyed racing Lando. I had all the drivers for a barbecue at my house last night, and you see they go straight into talking about moments on track and their eyes light up about what happened here or there or even in Formula 3 or karting.
"But does anyone ever get bored of winning?"
Although all drivers were invited to the event, Horner confirmed only roughly half of the grid attended. However, it is not known which drivers were the ones to go to the barbecue.
The win for Red Bull further extended their lead in the constructors' standings which they currently lead with 411 points followed by Mercedes who have 203 points.
Verstappen now has a 99 point lead on his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez. The Dutchman has 255 points compared to Perez's 156. Following the two Red Bull drivers are Fernando Alonso with 137 points and Lewis Hamilton with 121 points.
