Christian Horner predicts "tougher" Red Bull season as Mercedes and Ferrari fight back

Christian Horner thinks Red Bull are in for a much "tougher" season after dominating in 2022.

Whilst rivals failed to get to grips with the new regulations in F1's fresh era, Max Verstappen cruised to the drivers' title, finishing a mammoth 146 points clear of Ferrari man Charles Leclerc. Verstappen and Sergio Perez also secured a first Constructors' title for the team in nine years.

But the Scuderia seemingly had the pace to match Red Bull for much of the season, but were plagued by strategic errors which ultimately led to the departure of Team Principal Mattia Binotto. After a torrid start, Mercedes also improved as the year went on, with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton notching a one-two finish in the penultimate race in Brazil.
