Talking about McLaren’s recent upgrades, Horner des⛎cribed i🍷t as a “very similar concept”
“It’s a very similar concept,” Horner said as quoted by Speedcafe.
“I was looking at th꧒e car on the grid [at Silverstone], and it’s the first time I’veꦿ really seen it this year. You can see the philosophy they’ve borrowed is very similar, that they’ve chosen a similar path.”
Given Red Bull’s dominance in F1 2023, Horner conceded that it’s “inevitable” th♒at other teams would follow suit.
𝕴“Yeah, always. It’s flattering, isn’t it,” he added.
“It’s inevitable that will happen, and why wouldn’t yoꦜu when you’ve got a car that’s per⛦forming like ours?
“It’s fairly logical that you would look to emulate it. Which soಌme teams have chosen to do.”

Even though Red Bull have been unchallenged so far, Horner is prepared for things to converge at the froಌnt as the season goes on.
“My job is to win, and the one thing we know 🅘from this s🔜port is that things will converge,” he added.
“You can already see it starting to happen, and the mo🎃st important thing to have convergence is stability, and stability of regulations will bring all of the teams much, much ♔closer together.
“꧃You can see it’s already starting to happen. It’s not going to be another seven years of dom💧ination.
“The power units are all pretty similar now, and the chassis evolves much, much q𒊎uicker than the engines do.
“We can already see from the start of the season to now tha🙈t things are already converging.”
