And we duly delivered amid those expectations.Īt the very first race of the partnership in Melbourne, Max delivered a strong qualifying lap to secure fourth place on the grid. McLaren is the most successful F1 team at Monaco, having won the race 15 times, the first of those victories coming in 1984 with Alain Prost. Team principal Christian Horner said the news signaled “the start of an exciting new phase” for Red Bull, with the target of fighting for wins and championships together.Įxpectations were immediately high after the encouraging steps forward made in 2018, as the latest power unit would be allied with a Red Bull car that had proven to be a race-winning chassis for a number of seasons.
On 19 June 2018, it was confirmed that we would also supply Red Bull Racing for the next two seasons, taking on the challenge of working with two teams on the grid simultaneously for the first time since our return. It might have been a Red Bull-backed team but the senior outfit was going to watch how the partnership developed before making a decision on whether we would push forward together into 2019. When we started the season with Toro Rosso, there were no guarantees.
