2024 Brings Balance to F1 Horner Predicts

Horner Foresees ‘Normal F1’ Post-Red Bull Reign

14/07/2024

Horner projects a balanced 2024 F1 season following Red Bull’s dominant 2023 run.

Christian Horner, Red Bull’s team principal, acknowledges that this year’s races have become significantly more challenging as competition intensifies. Nevertheless, he finds success under these conditions particularly rewarding.

“When we were winning races by 30 to 40 seconds last year, it was somewhat less stressful,” Horner remarked. “It’s odd, because when you win by such margins, your focus shifts to reliability and other factors. Now, there’s no time to consider reliability because it’s all about pushing to the limit. I find it more rewarding, of course.”

The British principal remains impressed by his team’s achievements last year, with 21 wins in 22 races: “It is only with hindsight that 2023 will be seen as a very special year and what was accomplished because it was truly, and I keep referring to it, a unicorn year. Unicorns don’t exist.”

“What we did last year had never been done before and might never be done again. So, this is a much more normal F1, but we still hold an 80-something point lead in the drivers’ championship and have extended our lead in the constructors’ championship.”
