McLaren two-horse race this season: Horner

SPIELBERG — Red Bull boss Christian Horner said the Formula One season was turning into a two-horse race between the McLaren drivers after his team had a home Austrian Grand Prix to forget on June 29.

Four-time world champion Max Verstappen retired on the first lap after being driven into by Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli, while teammate Yuki Tsunoda was last of the 16 finishers.

As a result of Lando Norris leading home teammate Oscar Piastri in a McLaren one-two, Verstappen was left languishing 61 points behind championship leader Piastri.

"The buffer they have is significant. It looks very much like a two-horse race. They (McLaren) have got a cushion to the rest of the field," said Horner.
