Red Bull wants to take advantage of the McLaren duel

Two world champions in the same team, that's something that doesn't worry Martin Whitmarsh, team manager of McLaren. But Christian Horner, boss of Red Bull, hopes to take advantage of the fratricidal fight between the two British drivers to pick up the lost points. “ I hope they will take points from each other, commented Horner to the Mirror. Jenson did not sign as No. 2 and he has clear objectives. »

In addition, the team manager of the vice-world champion team expressed his astonishment that the 2009 world champion had left Ross Brawn's team to join that of Martin Whitmarsh. “ I am surprised that Mercedes let Jenson (Button) slip away but it?s their choice anyway. »

Horner sees this resounding transfer as a sign that Jenson Button wants to confirm his title. “ It’s quite a message from Jenson to join Lewis (Hamilton) at McLaren. Obviously, he feels confident enough in his abilities to be able to do it »

However, the Red Bull boss knows that ?JB? will not have an easy mission. “ It is now he who will have the difficult task of arriving with a world champion title “on his back”. But the change in regulations could suit him. It will be a fantastic duel between the two of them. »
