Christian Horner: defend both titles is a real challenge

Red Bull Racing trying to keep the continuity of the team, considering it is one of the components of success. Speaking about the prospects of the Red Bull Racing this season, Christian Horner said that the riders will again try to defend both titles. . .
Question: Riders tell you about their experiences RB9, but in tests it is interesting to look at the other machines, to make comparisons...
Christian Horner: All work on their own programs, including us, but it's cool that the tests we carry out all together - there is something to compare with. Sherry is perfect - there is high-speed and slow turns, just a little. In addition, the team receives as benchmarks the results of the rivals. However, they do not matter, because we don't know, what do the rest.
Question: Many people simply compare the results, not realizing that the tests are designed to work with aerodynamics and data collection, isn't it?
Christian Horner: Yes, it's true - we just need to prepare for the season. On this route 10 kg of fuel can lead to the fact that you will lose or will be 3.5 seconds. The amount of fuel, the weight of the machine - all this affects lap times. We are working to its own agenda,and as long as things work out.
Question: On the market pilots always have some movement. You as the team leader looking for options in case Sebastian Vettel or mark Webber decides to leave Red Bull Racing.
Christian HororI hope this is still far away. It is useful from time to time to leave the pit lane to look at the different riders and their style of piloting. This gives the opportunity to compare those who use aggressive style, with those who pilots a more smoothly. You can also see how the cars behave on the bumps, what problems they have. It's great to see it all up close.
Question: heres a rough asphalt - because of this you can lose a lot of time. In addition, the tire wear is quite large. . .
Christian Horner: You are right. I guess all the teams are faced with high wear, so this should be considered when drawing up the programme of tests. However, representatives of Pirelli warned us about this before we arrived - this company has a great experience here for the summer tests. As you know, in Jerez tires are experiencing high load.
Question: We talked about the transitions riders, but sometimes the technical Director of the change command. Prepare for Red Bull Racing shift to Adrian Newey, you look human?
Christian Horner: We are lucky - we have maintain stability and continuity. This will continue in the future, but Red Bull Racing - strong team, we have many talented young engineers and designers. Success is the merit of not one person but the whole team.
Question: How do you think how much time Adrian will be in Red Bull?
Christian Horner: Adrian had maintained the motivation and enjoys the work. Of course, he's incredibly popular in the team. He likes to work with young engineers. He's still incredibly competitive, so I have no doubt that he will remain with us for another few years.
Question: You have also signed a multi-year contract?
Christian Horner: Yes, it was a pure formality. I worked at Red Bull since then, as proved in the Formula 1. It is time to extend these relationships. I can't imagine myself in any other team.
Question: Now Red Bull Racing in top form.
Christian Horner: We had a very successful period: three victories in both tests. This is a great achievement. The real test is to continue in the same spirit and try to defend both titles. This year we must not forget about preparing for 2014. The whole team is looking forward to a busy and exciting season, but we get the pleasure of this call.
Question: Last season was very interesting. Because the regulations have not changed, we can expect that this year the fight will not be less dense?
Christian Horner Over the last three or four years, the regulations did not change very seriously, and this year it has remained stable. All new machine is an evolution of last year. I think the contestants will be those same pilots. Let's see what we can achieve in 2013)
