After the race, The Guardian received comments from Christian Horner, the head of the Red Bull F1 Team who said: “The perfect start. I have to say a big thank you to all the men and women back in Milton Keynes who this winter have worked so hard, and come up with another great car. It’s testimony to that hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Yeah, a great team performance to come up with that one-two finish and come up with maximum points today.”
