Red Bull intends to move forward

Brawn GP's number one challenger in both drivers' and constructors' championships, Red Bull Racing wants to take advantage of the Turkish GP to make up part of its gap on the leading team. If Monaco was particularly disappointing compared to previous races with the abandonment of Sebastian Vettel and fifth place for Mark Webber, the Milton Keynes team intends to rectify the situation this weekend in Turkey.

« This is an important race in terms of the championship and our objective is to challenge the Brawn GP », Announces Christian Horner, the team director. However, the battle risks intensifying at the top with the return of Ferrari in the foreground. Horner does not shy away from the fact that his team was overtaken by the Reds during the Monaco meeting. “ It is clear that over the last two races Ferrari has taken a big step forward and I think we can expect it to play a significant role this weekend. »

However, the Red Bull boss has highlighted the performance of his cars since the start of the season and is optimistic about his chances. “ We have been competitive on all circuits this season. It is important to achieve a good result because our objective is to reduce the gap with the leaders in the championship “, he says. " One of the keys will also lie in the management of soft tires. It will be important to pay attention to the degradation of the rubber in high-speed corners; this can play a determining role in the final result”he concludes.
