Christian Horner Quotations

The pit stops were fast and it was a strong, disciplined performance. The drivers did a superb job and I'm pleased with the result.

He will be test and reserve driver for the 2006 season, with options that go beyond that.

What we will see is it will build to a crescendo and it has the best of everything; a busy finish, with and without fuel, it is a good solution.

I think qualifying will be an interesting spectacle now,

I think if somebody were to give him the right environment and get inside his head, he has so much more ability to exploit.

We are concentrating all our efforts on creating the conditions we need for our young team to get off to an optimal start this season.

We are in a phase of restructuring and want to take advantage of every available day to prepare for our first year,

We are delighted to have extended our agreement with Michelin for the 2006 season, which forms another significant part of our overall package for next year,

This season has been a grueling season. There are a few tired looking people in the paddock.

We already have top engineers and a top (Ferrari) engine, so we now also need appropriate drivers for this. To be honest, at the moment, I can't see that (Montoya) would give us anything more than we already have.

We are very fortunate to have two talented young drivers, who have both impressed the team during pre-season testing.

Ferrari is synonymous with success in Formula One. This is an enormous boost for the team and underlines our commitment to compete at the forefront of Formula One.

There was a bit of a split opinion on that,

The size of the challenge ahead is not to be underestimated but it's one that I'm sure he's going to throw himself fully into.

Adrian is comfortable with his decision. I am not familiar with the full detail of what happened last time around but he has informed McLaren and he is a free agent as of the end of January.

It was a very positive meeting and I think we have seen a positive outcome,

It was a natural decision to extend Scott's contract, ... We've been impressed with what he's achieved in GP2 this season and the pace he's shown in tests, particularly when driving the team's third car in Canada and at Indianapolis. Those are strong indications of his potential.

Then in 2007...the real dividend and impact of Adrian's appointment will start to be seen.

After the penalty of having to go out to qualify first and second here, to finish the weekend in seventh and eighth is pretty good,

I think the most important thing for any driver is to know that he's getting equality of equipment and priority.

When you're 84, a 70-year-old is still pretty young,

The most important thing today is that Mark Webber is safe and OK. After a very nasty accident, he's fine.

Alonso's move was certainly very interesting, particularly in terms of its timing. I think the formula one driver market in 12 months' time will be more fluid than at any time over recent years. It will be fascinating to see how it all works out.

The changes for next year will be good and it is encouraging for the bigger picture of Formula One.
