Christian Horner says no-one at Red Bull is getting "carried away" after Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez gave them a one-two in the opening race of the Formula 1 season.
Mercedes driver George Russell believes Red Bull will win every race of the 2023 season and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc said Horner's team is "on a different planet". But the Red Bull team principal was trying not to get too bullish – at least not publicly – after Verstappen's dominant win.
He said: "Twenty-three races is a marathon. It's about being consistent over the campaign. Today was a great start but we fully expect our rivals to come back hard in future races. None of us are getting carried away with one result. The surface of this track is quite unique.
