Horner: “Still in the game only due to the Mercedes breakdowns”

Having managed to place both cars on the podium at Marina Bay did not calm the spirits at home Red Bull aware that we are still far from the very fast Mercedes in terms of performance.

“In Singapore the gap decreased but it must be kept in mind that it was a slow circuit, while in reality the difference in horsepower between the two cars is still important, so I believe that in Abu Dhabi and Sochi we will see the old gaps again – he explained to Autosport the team principal Christian horner – For us there remains the risk of incurring some penalties with Vettel regarding the engine, therefore what matters is to direct our energy towards next winter to come back strong in 2015. Objectively, if we are in the running for the title we owe it only to the problems complained by the Germans lately".
