Christian Horner, still in the garage watching the race, tightened his fist when he heard the cheers from the AlphaTauri mechanics a few garages down as he watched Fatih pull off an impressive double overtake. Had it not been a nightmare situation for him, he would have joined the mechanics in the garage who were clapping for their junior team driver's impressive double-overtake move and late-brake bravery into turn one.
Jos Verstappen banged his head against the wall behind him in frustration because, despite knowing that Red Bull still had the pace, it didn't mean the race lead at the moment was meaningless, since it opened many opportunities for Fatih to exploit, and he might even have a surprisingly good pace to keep the lead that they didn't know about.
Helmut, on the other hand, had a very impressed smile on his face upon seeing the impressive drive from his rookie driver, momentarily forgetting the nightmare situation they might be in if the lead was kept.
