Red Bull still hold all the cards going into this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix but for their team principal, Christian Horner, it is the next round in Azerbaijan that is of greater concern. In Melbourne Horner bluntly dismissed plans to hold a sprint race in Baku as “ludicrous” given the risk of cars crashing on the high-speed, street circuit.
At Albert Park Red Bull are on a roll that for now at least looks to be unstoppable, with a pair of one-two victories in the opening two meetings, their drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez taking one win each. Verstappen leads his teammate by one point in the drivers’ championship.
