Red Bull Racing will look back on the triple header with great optimism. With three pole positions, three wins and a clear lead in both championships, the flag is flying for a first world title since 2013. Christian Horner is satisfied, although he's already looking forward to Silverstone.
"We know Mercedes have been so strong over the last seven years that they are going to be mighty around there [Silverstone] and the British fans supporting Lewis; that is going to be extra petrol in his tank.," Horner explained to Sky Sports."And its the first of the sprint races, so it's going to be a different dynamic. If we can carry this momentum into Silverstone then there is nothing we should fear.

A major topic of conversation was Lando Norris' incident with Sergio Perez. The McLaren driver pushed the Mexican off the track and received a time penalty for doing so. Horner revealed: "I didn't have a major problem with Lando's move. It's racing and hard racing. It was wheel-to-wheel. For him to get a penalty for that and I guess they gave themselves no choice when he [Perez] had that with Charles. A bit disappointing. It's hard racing."
Finally, Horner looked back at Verstappen's dominant victory."Its fantastic to win this race. Our home race. Max drove an impeccable race, he didn't put a wheel wrong and led every lap and fastest lap. Clean race from him."
