Red Bull team boss Christian Horner is sure Mercedes “will get it together” and recover their F1 form, identifying th🦹eir “great strength in dept𒈔h”.

Red Bull had no competition in F1 2023 as they stormed to both championships.

They won 21 of the 22 races, only missing out at the Singapore Grand Prix in what was a remarkable campaign🦹 for the team.

The🙈 margin was so great to ✨the teams behind, in terms of points scored, because Red Bull didn’t have a consistent threat.

The pecking order chopped and changed, with Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari and Aston Mart❀in all exchanging places♏ as the second-best team.

As a result, it’s unclear which team will be Red Bull’s neare🐓st chall💖enger in 2024.

Assessing Red Bull’s likely rivals, Horner s💛aid:🐷 “Mercedes has great strength in depth.

“Obviously, they've had a difficult period, but they've great drivers, andꦛ they will get it together, one would assume, at some point; McLaren had a great back end of the year, and Ferrari show flashes of real potential.

“So it's difficult to identify🐼 which of those is likely to be the biggest challenger, but you could take your pick almost.”

While their form did tail off, Horner acknowledged Aston Martin’s “bi🎉g facilitꦓies" and “big resources”.

“They made a huge step at the beginning of the year, but they rꦗeally tailed off in the second half. I'm sure they'reඣ looking to understand why that happened,” he added.

“But they've got big facilities, big resources, and they've recruited a lot of talent into that team, and ꦿFernando was brilliant (last year). He drove fantastically well. For a 42-year-old guy, I thought he was outstanding.”
