Horner: “Mercedes and Ferrari work as one team”

Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Would she feel isolated among the top teams? Christian Horner, the Team Principal of the Austrian team, in any case expressed his feeling of seeing Mercedes et Ferrari working together for a while. The Briton spoke of his doubts during an interview carried out on Sky Sports on the sidelines of the winter tests held this week on the Catalunya circuit in Barcelona (Spain).

“Mercedes and Ferrari work as one team these days, said the director of Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. It sometimes becomes difficult to distinguish who is who. There has been a very close relationship maintained in recent years between Ferrari and Mercedes. They even published the presentation of the car from the other team and has been doing different things like this in recent days. »

Christian Horner nevertheless assures that his greatest concern is about the future regulations currently being developed by Liberty Media and the F1 for implementation scheduled for 2021.

“We need to have real alignment between the owners of the commercial rights and the governing body, added the Red Bull Team Principal. The desire of the teams will become irrelevant once they are on the same page, but first and foremost they must agree and present what they want to do with the rules, especially in terms of the changes that will be made to the Power Units. We have interested players who are waiting (Aston Martin) and time is crucial for them if they want to get to F1 in 2021.”
