His Red Bull team may be running away with the title race so far – but Christian Horner still insists Mercedes and Ferrari can close the gap later in the season.
Rumours circulating the paddock suggest that Mercedes and Ferrari are to make major improvements as the Formula 1 circus reaches Europe for the first time this season. Red Bull currently sit top of the constructors' championship, after Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez won the first three races of the season between them.
However, Horner is refusing to get carried away by the early-season Red Bull dominance as the consequence of their budget cap penalty is still imminent. For overspending in 2021, the FIA slapped Red Bull with a £6m fine as well as a 10 per cent reduction in the number of wind tunnel runs this season.
