Christian Horner has offered arch rival Toto Wolff some advice amid Mercedes’ barren run since the new technical regulations were introduced at the start of F1 2022.
Since the 2021 world championships, Mercedes and Red Bull have had contrasting fortunes. Mercedes have only won one race since the start of 2022, while Red Bull have won 38 races in the same period. Red Bull had a similar barren run between 2014 and 2020 after their four consecutive victories with Sebastian Vettel. Red Bull often lagged behind Mercedes, who remained unbeaten until 2021. Red Bull’s team principal, Christian Horner, acknowledged the challenges of transitioning from a winning team to one that is struggling, but stressed the importance of motivating and instilling confidence in the team. Despite their uncompetitive seasons, Red Bull still managed to win races every year except for 2015, particularly in Monaco and Mexico where their engine disadvantage was less significant. During this period, Horner expressed his pride in Red Bull’s ability to remain competitive and resilient.
