Red Bull have dominated this year’s champ🐻ionship, with the drivers’ and constructors’ titles already wrapped up with five rounds to go.

Their main rivals - Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren - have enjoyed steady progress in F1 2023, closing the gap over one-lap.

Red Bull still have a significant advantage on race day, however, Horner thinks the gaps betw♉een the teams will only continue to close due to the stable technical regulations.

“It definitely makes it a lot tighter and you have to rely on your data a lot more so the amount of simulations you’re running in a race, there’s a lot more intensity on that,” he said. “But it’s go꧂ing to happen. 

“When you’ve got stableꦗ regulations - the cars and the teams will conꦬverge so this is a precursor to what we will see next year with a much tighter field.”

Horner confirmed Red Bull won’t introduce any further upgrades to the RB1🧸9, with their full attention on 🍌the 2024 car.

“This is it,” he added. “We had a small update in Singapore. Because of the lack of wind tunnel time💫 that we’ve had we’ve focused a lot onto next year’s car at a relevant stage. 

“It’s all about optimising what 🤡we have now between now and the end ไof the year.”
