Horner sends stark 'momentum' warning after Verstappen's 'timely title-bid win'

Where everyone on Friday believed McLaren would win by a landslide again in Imola, it was Verstappen who took the chequeared flag. How did the team turn it around? Horner answered that very question to media like GPblog after the race.

"We bought some subtle new parts here and I think that Friday we sort of understood what they were doing and were able to fine tune the setup around them going into Saturday."

"Then the car, really, after Max jumped out of it in P3 (Free Practice 3, ed.) he was much much happier and that carried through into qualy and then obviously again into the race today."

"Going into the race today we didn't know what to expect tyre deg wise because McLaren obviously looked so good on Friday we generally thought it was gonna be very tough to beat them today, so it was very reassuring that actually our deg was better than theirs today."
