Christian Horner: Red suits Hamilton!

Red Bull Racing Principal Christian Horner is confident that the upcoming season will be a real test for all teams, given the high level of competition in the field.

“I think it’s going to be an incredibly competitive season. It’s not just us and Mercedes, but Ferrari and McLaren too. It could be one of the most exciting seasons in recent years,” Horner said at the Autosport Awards.

One of the highlights of the season has been Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, which has already been called one of the biggest transfers in the history of the sport. The seven-time world champion, who spent more than a decade with Mercedes, will take on a new challenge as part of the Scuderia, aiming to bring the team its first title since 2007.

“I’ve seen some pictures – I think he looks good in red! It’s great news for Formula 1. Lewis at Ferrari is a huge box office story. He brings a lot of attention to the sport and I’m sure there will be some interesting dynamics and intense competition,” added Horner.
