Christian Horner has nothing to complain about when it comes to the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship. Speaking to GPblog and others, the Red Bull team boss said that it is mainly behind Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez that it is shifting points. The British team boss also addressed Mercedes' improved car.
"Look, I mean, for sure they've made a step. They've introduced pretty much a B-spec car. So they must have used a significant proportion of their development budget on that. And I think that when I look at the gap at the end of the race, it's facing us where it was in Bahrain," the team boss said.
Horner does not fear Mercedes
Despite Mercedes' updates, Horner is not afraid of the Red Bull drivers' positions. In the Constructors' Championship, Red Bull still has little to fear from the competition. Indeed, the team is 135 ahead of Mercedes. The Briton says there is only tension behind the Austrian team.
"All that's happening is the running order behind us seems to vary from race to race. Fernando Alonso last weekend, the Mercedes this weekend. And it'll be interesting to see how that plays out over the next few races."
