Formula 1: Red Bull’s Christian Horner URGES team to Capitalise on Early Season Momentum – Check out

“It’s so early in the season,” he said in an interview on a Sky TV business program. “I mean, it’s a 23-race calendar, we’ve done two races in Bahrain and Jeddah so far. And the venues vary a great deal, it’s Australia in just over a week’s time, so I’m sure it’s going to ebb and flow. But we’re hopeful that we can extract more performance from the car.”

Horner continued, “The regulations are still relatively young. It’s only the second year of these new regulations. So I’m expecting to see an awful lot of convergence during the course of the year, and the grid is going to tighten up.

“So we need to make hay while the sun shines at the moment while we’ve got a competitive car, and just keep pushing through the season.”
