‘Red Bull haven’t broken any rules’: Christian Horner 

Earlier to French Grand Prix, Mercedes accused Red Bull of having an illegal flexible rear wing on their car. However, after winning at Circuit Paul Ricard, Christian Horner claims the team’s triumph at the French GP suggests the Milton Keynes-based team has broken no rules.

“I think it just shows that–you know, a lot of comments have been made over the last few weeks with accusations, but we’ve complied with the rules.

“And the way that we’ve reacted, I think, again, shows the strength and depth that our performance isn’t based on rear wing flexibility,” said the Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.

“All times we’ve always followed the prescriptions from Pirelli. And, obviously, the increase in tyre pressure this weekend was challenging for all the teams. But again, the engineering team has done a great job in optimising the car around it.”
