Mercedes He dominated Formula 1 with an iron fist and Lewis Hamilton won almost all of his World Cups there. Only his partner in 2016, Nico Rosberg, he was able to stand up to him and snatch that championship from him. Now, in the current competition, it is debated if the same will happen with the current Red Bull.
Christian Horner, head of the energy drink team, does not think so. He assures that things can change and that the teams are already getting closer. The truth is that the British Grand Prix McLaren was a few seconds behind Max Verstappen.
“We can already see what is happening, our rivals are getting closer. There will be seven years of dominance on our part“, he said in ‘Racing News 365’.
“The power is very similar and everyone is close. We have been able to see since the beginning of the season how things are changing and the teams are evolving,” Horner explained in these statements.
Of course, Christian makes it clear that they do not have to worry about “equality” in Formula 1: “That is not my problem … my problem and my job is to win with this team”.
“One thing we know about this sport is that things transform and change and the most important thing is to have stability in your decisions,” he says to finish.
At the moment in this 2023 they dominate more than ever: 411 points in the constructors’ world championship (more than double that of Mercedes, with 203). And Verstappen is a very prominent leader in the drivers’ championship with 255 points, 99 points more than Sergio PerezYour partner.
