Red Bull boss Christian Horner says performance consistency is very important – Formula 1 news
Red Bull Racing team principal, Christian Horner has said that to perform with consistency is the key to win the 2012 Formula 1 World Championship.
Even though, the defending champions are leading the constructors’ as well as the drivers’ standings with their driver, Sebastian Vettel. However, since there have been five different teams which have won in the first five races of the season with completely
different setups of the cars, therefore, it is very difficult to make any kind of projections about who will be the world championship this year.
Nevertheless, Horner expressed that as they are at the top right now, so they can say that they have been the most consistent contender in this season so far.
“For the time being, performance is going to fluctuate from team to team and the most important thing is to be consistent,” he said. “Consistency over the year is going to be crucial. Arguably after five races we must have been the most consistent because
we find ourselves leading both Championships.”
Additionally, he said that there are many factors which decide the race winner which may include the conditions of the track, performance of the driver and the pace of the car.
“We've seen the spotlight on different cars at different times. Is it conditions, is it track type, is it car characteristic, is it the driver? There are so many factors to weigh up and I'm sure these debates are going on up and down the pit lane,” he said.
Furthermore, Horner said that they have been making the significant developments and the essential preparations so as to improve the pace of RB8 for the forthcoming season in order to defend their title.
In addition, he said that presently every team is facing problems with the tyre management and aerodynamics issues. He also said that they are encountered with the same issues.
Besides, he said that the team which will be able to manage these problems in the approaching races will definitely overcome others.
Over and above, despite struggling in the start of the season, Red Bull have still been deemed as the most competent contenders with the perfect blend of expertise and talented pair of drivers.
