Red Bull team principal Christian Horner appears to have already started the mind games before the 2024 F1 season has even begun.
Red Bull, led by Christian Horner, dominated the 2023 season, winning all except one of the 22 races and securing their second consecutive constructors’ title. Max Verstappen also claimed his third consecutive drivers’ championship. Horner acknowledged the pressure on Ferrari, as they are a national team subjected to intense scrutiny from the Italian media, but also praised their capabilities. McLaren, with their new addition Rob Marshall, showed promise in the second half of the year and could be a significant competitor in the upcoming season. However, Horner emphasized the need for a cohesive team effort in Formula 1, as success relies on the collective efforts of several hundred individuals. Recognizing the limits of Red Bull’s development under stable regulations, Horner expects strong competition from teams like Ferrari, Mercedes, and Aston Martin.
