Christian Horner insists Red Bull Racing will remain aggressive – Formula 1 news
Red Bull Racing team principal, Christian Horner has said that they are going to remain aggressive in the remainder of the 2012 Formula 1 season instead of trying to just defend their lead in the championship fight.
The Milton Keynes based team is currently leading the constructors’ championship with 422 points and has a strong lead over other contenders.
Meanwhile, their driver, Sebastian Vettel is also at the top of the drivers’ rankings with 255 points and has a lead of 10 points over his main rival, Fernando Alonso of Ferrari.
Even though, the defending champion seems unbeatable now, nevertheless, Horner has said that they are not going to take anything easy as the Spaniard has been in really good form in the season so far and can surely challenge for the title in the remainder
of the season.
Therefore, he insisted that they are looking forward to perform at their best in the last two races of the ongoing season.
“We know how consistent Fernando has been this year and it was entirely predictable that starting sixth on the grid he was going to be on the podium,” Horner is quoted as saying byadamcooperf1 of the Abu Dhabi GP.
“And so you had mentally got an image of him taking between 15 and 25 points out of us, so to limit that damage to only three and finish behind him is a remarkable recovery. A great drive by Sebastian. Anybody that doubted that he's a racer, I think he's
showed world class. There's 50 available, we go in plus 10,” he added.
In addition, he said that they are making the necessary preparations to perform well in the next race which is going to be held at a completely new track in the calendar and are aiming to attain competitive result.
Besides, he admired the efforts which his team has made in the season until now and praised the performance of the veteran German driver.
It will be thrilling to see how they show up in the final two rounds of the ongoing season and whether the 25-year-old claims his third consecutive title or not.
