Red Bull team boss Christian Horner is sure Mercedes “will get it together” and recover their F1 form, identifying t🐼heir “great strength in de﷽pth”.

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 𓄧was a remarkable campaign for the team.

The margin was so great to t✨he teams behi♏nd, 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 Martin all exchanging places as the second-best team.

As🎐 a result, it’s unclear which team will be Red Buꦡll’s nearest challenger in 2024.

While their form🔥 did tail off, Horner acknowledged Aston Martin’s “big ⭕facilities" and “big resources”.

“They made a huge step at the beginning of the year, but they really tailed off in the second half. I'm sure they're looking t꧅o u♊nderstand 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 fantasti🐈cally well. For a 42-year-old guy, I thought he was outstanding.”
