Horner not looking to Mercedes: "Think this is a positive start"

The Formula 1 season of Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing has started well. On the first day of testing in Bahrain the Dutchman was not only the fastest by mid-afternoon but also drove the most laps. Christian Horner is satisfied with the result.

"It's slippery, for everyone out there," he said in a conversation with Sky Sports. "We're trying to learn as much as we can and getting a feel for the car. It is what it is, our driver is pretty happy with the car, so I think this is a positive start."

What does Horner think of Mercedes?

Meanwhile, off the track, speculation about Mercedes' floor is rife. It does look very advanced compared to that of the RB16B. On the track Mercedes didn't do well at all today. Horner doesn't seem to be bothered by it all.

"Not really, we focus more on ourselves than what others are doing. At the moment, of course, all the teams are taking pictures of the other cars. That information will come in overnight. Our focus now is on making our own progress," said the Red Bull Racing team boss.
