Christian Horner has revealed how difficult he expects it to be for Red Bull to secure a third successive title next season.

Red Bull may have dominated the 2011 season, but Horner is convinced that McLaren and Ferrari will come back fighting next year and that his team will have to work extremely hard to come out on top again.

He said: “It would be foolish to underestimate the likes of Ferrari – they are a phenomenal team with tremendous pedigree – or the likes of McLaren and Mercedes Benz.”

“We are not foolish or arrogant enough to think that this kind of performance is normal. It’s abnormal and it takes a superhuman effort to try and achieve. Our competitors are going to be pushing hard over the winter.”

“It never gets easier, that’s for sure, focus has to start moving towards next year. We’ve got less than four months to design and build a completely new car.

“That’s why Adrian (Newey) elected not to attend this race. He’s busy back in the UK focused on our RB8.”
