Christian Horner was not concerned about Red Bull's reliability heading into the weekend, 'but something obviously has happened there and we need to get to the bottom of it.' F1 SaudiArabianGP
Verstappen had been fitted with a completely new gearbox cassette and ancillaries after Friday’s practice sessions, having been heard complaining about long downshifts into the slow corners during FP2 – a seemingly precautionary measure. But Horner explained that the gearbox change, which moved Verstappen onto two used gearboxes out of a permitted four for his season allocation, was actually strategic.
“It’s only the second race so it’s a great shame [for Max]. It’s really frustrating, the car has been on fire all weekend. Max, as well, every session has been very quick so let’s see how he races tomorrow. It’s gonna be a busy race for him, but we’ve got good straight-line speed. We’ve got a good race car so let’s see what we can do.”
