Mercedes brought a significant upgrade to their car, the effect of which suggested it was at the pace of Friday’s first practice session.
Horner’s Red Bull team dominated the championship with a significant lead in the Constructors’ Championship, and Max Verstappen has won six out of nine races so far.
In a three-team, six-car battle for victory at Silverstone, Horner said: The closest we’ve seen is Barcelona in terms of high and medium speed corners. Mercedes seems to be fast here as well, bringing a reasonable update here.
“There could be six cars competing at this venue. This is great for fans. It will be interesting to see how it works.”
Red Bull has brought its own upgrade set to the 10th race of the 2022 calendar. It states that Horner “has evolved more than a revolution, not a big step.”
Meanwhile, Horner will be part of an F1 committee meeting next week to discuss technical directives from the FIA on the porpoising phenomenon.
Metrics set to define limits that allow cars to bounce up and down and address safety concerns from some teams will appear at the French Grand Prix at the end of July.
However, Horner warns: When looking at it from a purist point of view, it is not ideal.
“It seems to be increasingly affecting the FIA to direct setup. Getting off is a dangerous road. For safety reasons, this was introduced for porpoising in a limited number of cars. I understand that. “
