Red B🍰ull remain unbeaten in 2023 after winning all 12 of the races so far, with Max Vers𓆉tappen claiming 10 victories and teammate Sergio Perez winning the other two. 

Th🤪e Milton Keynes outfit are steamrolling towards another double world championship triumph with their dominant RB19 which ꧂has proved to be the class of the field. 

While H🎃orner said Red Bull were fairly confident they had a competitive car after pre-season testing, he insisted they never thought their advantage would be so big. 

"In February, we knew we had a good car, but we expected Fe🏅rrari to build on last year, and we expected Mercedes to be there also,” Horner told ESPN. 

“And so, it completely took us by surprise just how competitive we were compared to our opponents.⛦”

H🌳orner addedꦺ: “I don’t think any of us thought that the car we had was actually as potent as that. We could see from the race times that we were competitive. 

“The Aston looked like it was the♏ closest to us. The Mercedes didn’t look in great shape, they’d pioneered on with their concept. So we could only really tell our own performance. 

“Of course havജing been in Bahrain last year and lost out with a reliability issue we were de🦄termined to put that right this year.”

Red Bull broke McLaren’s record for the most consecutive race wins in F1 history after Verstappen secured the team’s 12th in 🦹a row at the Hungari𒅌an Grand Prix. 

Verstappen followed that up with his eighth straight win in Belgium seven days later to make﷽ it 13 victories on the bounce for Red Bu🍒ll. 

There have been suggestions that Red Bull could go ⛎on to win all 22 races this year, but Hornerꦗ isn’t getting carried away with such thoughts. 

“I think the se▨cret to success is the culture that flows throughout the business, very much a can-do attitude,” he said. 

“Everybody loves winning and we celebrate every success. We ob⭕viously had some difficult years where we were trying to get back into a winning position but nobody lost focus of what the target was, what the goal was and what the ambition was. 

“I’ve never seen motivation higher on the campus than we currently have. Winn♉ing is fun and we celebra🍨te every single victory.”
