S1 EP3: Flying bulls

Cars zoom by once again the music building up.

'Mate just full send it today yeah, full send.' Christian Horner told Sergio Perez as the two stood in the garage. Christian almost having to yell to be louder then all the sounds around him, Sergio nodding in response as he drank from his water bottle. The bottle making it look like he was drinking Red-Bull.

'Red-Bull are having a very interesting first half of the season. In terms of constructors this team has never looked back since their good team performance in weekend one, awesome job from both teammates.'

'Max finished second in the first race, that will set himself up well for the season ahead. Sergio finished behind him in third place.

'In terms of actual special results on track though, it is surprisingly underwhelming.' Will Buxton said.

'It's like the team works in the shadows, mainly Max getting in good performances but you don't see them coming until you realize how many points they lead the constructors championship by.' Jennie Gow said.

'It's another podium for Max in week three, that sets him up for p2 in the championship.'

'The competition is very strong this year. We were prepared for that, but I don't think we expected how many were actually coming.' Max Verstappen said.

'ALEX ALBON WINS THE SPRINT RACE! He puts himself in p5 in the championship!'

'NYCK DE VRIES, passing Charles Leclerc to put himself FIRST in the drivers world championship.

'UNBELIEVABLE GUYS!' Nyck said excitedly.

'Everytime we were there, other drivers kept going faster.' Max Verstappen said.

'As a team together, we are the strongest there is, especially if you compare us to Ferrari and Mercedes, the teams we thought would challenge us. Soon though we were having a lot of other teams on our tail, including our junior team.' Christian said.

'Nyck de vries was carrying that team, but Yuki was also getting enough results in. It didn't take long before Alpha Tauri became the second strongest driver pairing on the grid, that whilst Yuki had a car that was fully build for slide races and not launch races. It came to Red-Bull out of nowhere. Probably reminds them of how the junior team has always been able to win first, both in Formula one as CF1. I don't think they like this challenge at all.' Will Buxton said with a smile.

Christian gets a call from Helmut Marco as he's miked up as he's been the entire weekend basically. He walks somewhere private away from the camera's and talks to him.

'Hello Helmut.' Christian said, it stayed silenced for a second as you could hear Helmut talk, but mo one could tell what he was saying.

'Oh yeah he's doing an awesome job, smart move.' Christian said.

Helmet talked again

'Yeah it's a problem, but it does help motivate our drivers. If Sergio doesn't pick up the pace and match Max he knows what will happen.' Christian said.

Helmut talked for a while

'No, no, but if we don't start actually winning something we could look at a midseason change. Red-Bull could use two strong drivers.' Christian said.

Helmut spoke again

'Alright, keep an eye on his performances and compare them to ours, see if our drivers can use that.' Christian said

'They truly poop their pants more over the challenge from Alpha Tauri then they even think about how to actually get their drivers to fight for the championship.' Fred Vasseur said.
