Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes are trying to get back into the title scene which Red Bull has on lockdown...
Red Bull boss Christian Horner said that if any driver is to pass comment on the team’s current dominance, then Lewis Hamilton is the last person it should be coming from.
Horner takes issue with that though, given such a belief comes from a driver who won six World Championship titles with Mercedes during their record run of eight Constructors’ titles in a row between 2014-21. Horner, perhaps understandably after the ordeal of 2021 which “aged me physically”, is happy to now hoover up some less stressful title successes, but the point has been made that this is not exactly great for F1’s entertainment value.
“And ’21 was the biggest fight in the history of the sport. It was just heavyweight from the first race to the final in Abu Dhabi, where the two drivers ended up same points. Unbelievable. “And the cars, there’s things that we see on the McLaren and think, ‘Okay, we recognise that, it looks a lot like our solution’, but that’s the way Formula 1 works. And next year, a lot of the cars will look the same I’m sure, because there’ll be that convergence.
Sergio Perez may have won two Grands Prix in the opening four rounds of F1 2023, but any hopes of a title challenge faded fast from there, with a record run of 10 grand prix victories in succession among Verstappen’s current tally of 17.
