Horner said he felt his team were well placed to win this year’s “race within
the race”; understanding this year’s rule changes, and in particular
the extremely sensitive Pirelli tyres.
Vettel ran out of steam trying to make a one-stop strategy work in Sunday’s
race, and was forced to stop for a second time with seven laps remaining.
But Horner did not sound too perturbed, and neither did his drivers, both of
whom ended the day taking an impromptu dip in the St Lawrence River.
