Horner explained Verstappen`s defeat at the Miami Grand Prix.


According to the Red Bull boss, Max caused quite a bit of damage to his car when he hit the limit post at turn 15. The incident occurred on the 20th lap of the race.


Max hit a pole around lap 20 and it actually caused quite a bit of damage to the underside of the car. We will need to study the data and understand how large the effect of the damage actually was.


But at that moment Max was quite fast, and before the damage to the car he was breaking away from Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, and then, obviously, we made a pit stop.


And yes, the safety car appeared on the track at the most opportune moment for Lando, essentially giving him a free pit stop. For us, the situation was not the best, since the tires on our car turned out to be 6-7 laps older. And taking into account the damage to the car, second place can actually be considered a very good result.


Due to the damage, Max lost 0. 25 seconds on each lap when passing the first turn. Was the damage really the cause? Well, when you see photos of the underside of the car and what`s missing there, you`ll clearly understand that this is not how the design was conceived at all, " Horner said.
