"" But I was lucky to use DRS on my home straight, so Max was a little relieved in Turn 1.The staff was nervous, "was the aggressive race strategy taken by Red Bull.Red Bull calls Hamilton, who stood at the top of the race, and called Ferstappen into the pit and executed the undercut.It moved first in the second pit stop.Hamilton extended the second stint, and Felstappen was forced to get to Hamilton, wearing 8 laps fresh tires, at the end of the race.According to Horner, Red Bull earned the first pit stop timing and aimed for undercut was that Felstappen would exhale the rear tires by Hamilton's back turbulence."We understand that we are faster in medium tires and Max understands that Lewis's rear is slipping," Horner explains."We had a danger that the tires would over -heat, and we were clogged (behind Hamilton). So we chose to gamble and run in free air."It was inevitable that Mercedes would extend the stint, but at an early stage of the first stint, I pit -in the Czech Republic (Sergio Perez / Red Bull Honda) will not pit them."Of course, they had room to extend the second stint, so they got an advantageous advantage at the end of the racing of eight laps."))Horner replied if he would evaluate Felstappen as the "best driver.""I think it's more," "He was manning incredibly the race. It wasn't a wonderful start as you can see, but he was able to take the victory."I got it and succeeded. I won a big win at a circuit where Lewis and Mercedes have overwhelmed strength in the Hybrid era F1.
