Horner reveals Red Bull will not set more race win targets in 2019 F1 season

Red Bull Racing team boss Christian Horner has confirmed his side will not set any more targets to win races this season, instead they will take things "race-by-race".
Max Verstappen stopped Mercedes' winning-streak, after he won a thrilling race in Austria in June, after a late dart up the grid saw him controversially overtake Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc with just a few laps to go.
However, despite being the only team other than Mercedes to win a race this season; Horner has revealed the Milton Keynes-based team will take each race as it comes for the remainder of the season.
"Well, there's no crystal ball so we're approaching the half point of the season," Horner said when asked how many races Red Bull can win this season. "To have got that first victory is an enormous achievement and a huge milestone for the team and for Honda.
"We approach things race-by-race, as a team, with try and optimise. We didn't go to Austria expecting to win that grand prix and came out with the first-place trophy. That's how we will approach every single grand prix between now and the end of the year.
"What that leads to in results we'll know by the end of the year. Helmut (Marko) obviously has an optimisim which he's already pushing and always going for, which is great."
