Red Bull will head into the final race in Abu Dhabi 19 points behind Mercedes in the Constructors’ Championship and their driver Max Verstappen is level on points with Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton in the Drivers’ Championship. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has now given his thoughts on their chances of winning both championships while speaking to The Independent Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxaGls2sYfPAYMt3LMx3AJAewuSde3x3rM 0:00 - Christian Horner Suggests Miracle Needed For Championship Win 1:24 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Christian Horner Suggests Miracle Needed For Championship Win Horner began by previewing the final race at revamped Yas Marina circuit “They've changed some things, so it's a different variant to the circuit. We’re going to come out of this weekend and go to Abu Dhabi tied on the world championship, leading by the virtue of race wins” He was then asked to predict who will win the Drivers’ championship “I have no idea. Obviously, we’ve seen performance in recent races, the form is with Mercedes but again Max has fought like a lion this weekend. He’s given it everything” He further suggested that the Drivers’ title carries more prestige "The drivers' title is where the prestige is. That's what people remember” He signed off by stating that their chance of winning the Constructors’ Championship is remote In the constructors' championship, we're on the back foot. We need a miracle to win that. We’ve got one more shot to have a go at winning the title with Max. Someone, Lewis or Max, will come out on top after next weekend” Fast Feed Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has explained that “it’s very important to have a good Saturday [in Abu Dhabi]” “The car is working well, get the long runs in, and then we’ll see what happens – but of course it’s exciting. Basically, we start again like we started the season” “I don't agree with the decisions but, I also don’t want to waste too much time on it because we don’t need to make headlines out of it. They don't deserve that” Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton doesn’t “think [he has] changed the way that [he] races” “I think we’re seeing multiple incidents this year where even with Brazil we’re supposed to do our racing on track in between the white lines and the rules haven’t been clear from the stewards” “From my understanding, I know that I can’t overtake someone and go off track and then keep the position but I think that’s well known between all us drivers but it doesn’t apply to one of us, I guess” Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has accepted that suggesting that Max hadn’t braked hard prior to Lewis running into the back of Max’s car in Jeddah “was obviously not correct, so I'm sorry for that” [F1 Insider] “Hopefully the sad chapter of Saudi Arabia is now closed. In any case, we are only looking forward. We want to win in Abu Dhabi and thus win the title” “We will do everything for that, but we will not start unfair actions” Alpine’s Esteban Ocon has revealed that “the competitor inside of [him] is disappointed to miss out on the podium by such a short distance” “But I’m very proud of the whole team today. What we achieved is outstanding and to take fourth place and add 12 more points in the bag in the championship is what counts” “We move onto Abu Dhabi ready to finish the season on a high and take any opportunity that might come up” AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly is “very pleased with finishing in the top six in front of Ferrari” “I’m really happy with that result and we’re taking home a lot of points again. We knew it was going to be tricky coming to a new track” His teammate Yuki Tsunoda accepted that he “pushed a bit too hard and [he] had the collision with [Sebastian] Vettel” “The pace in the car was looking quite good at that point in the race, so I should’ve held off and waited for another opportunity to overtake” “It was my mistake and I’ve apologised to him. It’s frustrating as I feel like points were on offer” [All quotes taken from the post-race press conference in Jeddah unless otherwise mentioned] Who will win the 2021 Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship?
