Christian Horner of Red Bull Racing believes Max Verstappen's recent win at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix signifies a pivotal moment in their pursuit of McLaren in the Formula One championship. Verstappen showcased his skill by overtaking pole-sitter Oscar Piastri early in the race, subsequently maintaining a pace that outclassed the McLarens. This victory not only demonstrates improved performance following recent upgrades to the car but also allows Verstappen to close the points gap to Piastri, which is crucial for Red Bull moving forward in the season.
"At all times, Max, he had the pace... It never felt that we were under pressure from behind. I think we had the pace to cover whatever they could throw at us."
"It's an important win for the team and at this stage of the championship. It feels like we're building a little bit of momentum behind the scenes."
