Christian Horner under ‘pressure’ at Azerbaijan GP

Verstappen remained in no man’s land throughout the Azerbaijan GP, unable to surge to the front and finished a disappointing fifth.

It was left to Perez to apply pressure on Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri for the race victory, however his race came undone during the closing stages of the grand prix.

As Carlos Sainz and Perez battled for P3, the pair collided as they exited Turn 2 and crashed into the barriers, eradicating all the progress the Mexican star made over the weekend.

The incident also ensured McLaren toppled Red Bull at the top of the constructors’ standings, following Piastri’s victory and P4 finish from Lando Norris.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner discussed their performance woes ahead of FP2 in Baku, and revealed he was feeling the ‘pressure’ following their results in Monza - which will have only worsened after the Azerbaijan GP.

“The whole team has raised this game to really take it an extra yard and to get back to the top step by step.

“If I look at the effort of the team, it is massive and we will fight to the end.”
