Red Bull team principle Christian Horner has said that he wants the team to wrap up the drivers’ and constructors’ championships as soon as possible to avoid a final setback.
“It’s my job to worry. You can’t become complacent in any way; we never have yet and we won’t certainly this year. Our approach is one race at a time, the next challenge is Korea – to get the most out of that venue – and then after that obviously Suzuka. If we keep doing that then the championship tables tend to take care of themselves,” Horner said.
“We’ve had two bloody close ones that I don’t want to go through again. Brazil last year I’ve now got several grey hairs from, Abu Dhabi two years’ earlier was about as stressful as you could get. The most important thing is winning. We’re trying to defend both titles and our job is to try to do that as soon as possible. It’s not our responsibility to take it to the last race, which hopefully it won’t go to,” he added.
Sebastian Vettel dominated the Singapore Grand Prix and has left him with a lead of 60 points in the championship table. The win also gave Red bull a commanding lead in the constructors’ championship and moved them closer to a fourth consecutive title.
Horner also said that despite dominating this season the team will have a tough time next year with the new regulations and rules.
“Next year’s a bit of a game changer and I think the power units are going to become a really key performance differentiator and whoever out of Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault gets it right or wrong on the power unit side could have a big effect on the pecking order and performance,” he said.
