Horner expects fast Mercedes at Silverstone
Christian Horner believes that Mercedes will be the biggest threat in the upcoming Grand Prix races.
After a very good result in Canada for Mercedes, including a podium for Hamilton, the German team seems to be better and better at dealing with the flaws of their cars. A worrying situation for the team leader’s director in the championship.
Indeed, Christian Horner stated in an interview that the upcoming races could be in favor of Mercedes, and that Ferrari would also be a very serious competitor.
I think they (Mercedes, ed.) will be fast at Silverstone. I see no reason why they wouldn’t be. It will be the same at Paul Ricard. I also think Ferrari will be fast at Silverstone. It will be a slightly more complex circuit for us considering the layout. It’s incredible to have been able to achieve 6 victories in a row, but Silverstone could put an end to this streak.
With a lead of 116 points over Mercedes, it would take a catastrophe to see this gap dangerously shrink for Red Bull.
