Red Bull Need To 'Out-Develop' Opponents To Win Title

Red Bull's Christian Horner believes the most important race of the year will be the one off the track - the key to winning this year is to "out-develop" the opponents, he has said.

Red Bull, just like Mercedes, have had a relatively quiet pre-season in Barcelona. Rather than trying to beat the track record like Sebastian Vettel did in his Ferrari, the team based in Milton Keynes opted to test long-runs.

"It’s so difficult to read from pre-season testing because people run different fuel loads and different energy levels in the their engines and so on, but there is a bit of a pattern," says the Red Bull team boss.

What he stresses more though, is the way to win the championship this season.

"It’s all about who can develop their car the fastest over the next 21 races and nine months," he stresses.
