Horner on running the team to beat
Red Bull Racing team boss Christian Horner talks exclusively to Jonathan Noble about the challenge of repeating a phenomenal season of success
The 2011 Formula 1 season will officially get underway on Friday when Ferrari becomes the first team to pull the covers off its new car. After that, attention shifts to Valencia in Spain where a host of other teams will reveal their challengers.
Valencia will also be the first occasion when world champion Sebastian Vettel will get to drive with the official #1 on his car - as Red Bull Racing returns to the track for the first time since that triumphant evening in Abu Dhabi last November.
