After the first triple-header of the 2020 Formula 1 season, now we can know which team and which driver is better positioned than another, we have seen a dominating Mercedes that is going for the seventh constructors’ title, we have seen a Lewis Hamilton who plans to match Michael Schumacher's all-time record for the most wins and the most drivers' world championships. We have also seen a Valtteri Bottas that will not stop in the fight for this year’s championship, Ferrari has not started in the best way despite the improvements and upgrades that they have brought to the Styrian and Hungarian GPs, and, without a doubt, we have seen a Max Verstappen who continues to fight for podiums despite having a car far away to the Mercedes, although last weekend, during the Hungarian Grand Prix, the Dutch driver lost the rear of his car in his pre-race lap when he was on his way to the starting grid, the track was wet and he crashed. His mechanics did a fantastic job and the Red Bull driver was able to compete in the race for an incredible second place. In this regard, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner gave more information about what happened in that unusual clash.

“I was watching the out lap on the monitor and saw Max run wide at turn six/seven. He was pushing to find out where the grip was and trying to synchronise eighth gear on the run down to turn 12, which means you have to be flat-out to get that synchronisation. The circuit was more slippery than he thought, and the tyres were pretty cold, nobody could quite believe their eyes when he went off into the barrier.” Red Bull Racing’s team principal, Christian Horner commented.

“Luckily, he managed to keep the engine running and reverse out of the barrier. We were unsure how serious the damage was and had to decided quickly whether to call him into the pit lane, but we made the call to send him to the grid to see if we could get the job done so he wouldn’t lose his grid position.” He mentioned in his Red Bull column.

“The funny thing is, I wasn’t stressed about it. I felt that if anyone could do the repairs then our mechanics could. You’d need to be a sensational piano player to be able to work your fingers within the space they had, such is the tight design of these cars.” Christian commented concerning the work done by the team’s mechanics.

“Other teams’ mechanics clapped our guys off the grid. It was the absolute epitome of teamwork, all the guys working together in synchronisation against the clock and getting the job done.”

Red Bull did an amazing job when repairing Max Verstappen’s car in order to go racing. If the team hadn’t been able to repair it, they would not had achieved that P2 and such an amount of points. Red Bull is far away from Mercedes but they are willing to fight for wins, will they achieve some of them this season?
