Christian Horner claims a driver requires tremendous ‘confidence’ around Monaco to perform well in the grueling 78-lap race

Christian Horner has highlighted the need for drivers to be confident in managing their cars around Monaco, as it features a host of short pavements, kerbstones, and bumps. A driver would require confidence not only within himself but also in the car, along with a strong knowledge of its limits, as the circuit allows no margin for error.

Monaco is unique. So you've got to have a car that you have confidence in. You've got to have a driver that has confidence to go near the barriers. Christian Horner via PitDebrief

Red Bull will look to continue their brilliant form coming into the Monaco Grand Prix. They will be required to find ways to improve their qualifying pace in comparison to the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Christian Horner praises Red Bull after Imola turnaround

Christian Horner spoke in praise of Red Bull Racing after they clinched their fifth win of the ongoing season. Red Bull struggled through the weekend in practice and towards the first part of qualifying but performed brilliantly in the 63-lap race.

When you look at the turnaround we had from Friday into Saturday to get the pole and to get the victory again today, it’s been a phenomenal performance and turnaround by the team. Christian Horner said post race at Imola.

Max Verstappen put in a formidable performance at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, where he was challenged strongly by Lando Norris until the very last lap. But the former proved his brilliance by coming across the line in first place after a difficult weekend.

Up next is the Monaco Grand Prix, where fans will see Ferrari, McLaren, and Red Bull, tussling for the top positions. The hype around the event has started to build up nicely and it surely, is going to be a must see event!
