Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says he instructed his team to pit Max Verstappen when a late downpour threatened to spoil his win at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix.
The Dutchman was not immediately convinced about switching to intermediate tyres as the rain started to fall. But Horner took matters into his own hands, revealing he shouted “get him in” at Verstappen’s race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase.
“We were unsure what was going to happen with the weather - was it a few spots, was it going to go through?” Horner explained.Verstappen overcame both downpours to claim a record-equalling ninth consecutive victory, marking his 11th win from 13 races this season.
