Red Bull team boss Christian Horner says “there are rumours of big updates for Mercedes and Ferrari once we get to Europe”.
Since the first race of the 2023 season there have been rumours about a big upgrade coming for the Mercedes W14 at Imola.
Big changes have since been announced by Mercedes’ team boss Toto Wolff and technical director Mike Elliott, with Wolff even saying that “the layout of the car will change at Imola”.
Now, Red Bull’s team boss Christian Horner says he has also heard rumours of “big updates”.
“A lot of things could change,” Horner told Sky Sports F1.
“There are rumours of big updates for Mercedes and Ferrari once we get to Europe. We don’t take anything for granted.
“That’s why we try to do the best possible job to the extent possible.”

Horner then reiterated that his team is yet to feel the impact of their 2021 budget cap breach penalty.
“Everybody’s got an opinion, and I think everybody’s free to have an opinion.
“The team have done a great job over the winter on limited wind-tunnel time that we’ve had to develop this car, and of course, that will have an impact later into the year and on next year.
“So on a snapshot of three races, I think it’s still hugely premature in this season.
“There’s an awful lot of racing still to go,” the Briton concluded.
