Mercedes has been all-conquering, winning the last two constructorsвЂ™ championships as Lewis Hamilton clinched back-to-back driversвЂ™ titles. Having previously enjoyed the fruits of Red BullвЂ™s dominance, Horner now sees the need to ensure F1 is a greater spectacle.

If not, the consequences could be dire for Red Bull, which is owned by the Austrian energy drink company. вЂњBut I think we can get closer to more regular podiums and hopefully get back in the winnersвЂ™ column.вЂќ How much better itвЂ™s only guess work for now. вЂњI obviously have faith and optimism it will be better. вЂњIf you canвЂ™t win, as long as you look good thatвЂ™s the second thing you want to do,вЂќ he said. While Ricciardo acclaimed the вЂњfunky and modernвЂќ style of the car, he will be judged on results of the 21 races.
