Chandhok predicts: 'This will be a lot more exciting at Silverstone'
Due to the unusual layout of the Red Bull Ring in Austria, Red Bull's dominance does not bode well for the title chances of the team led by Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, according to former driver and commentator for Sky Sports, Karun Chandhok.
Speaking to the Dutch Formula 1 Magazine Chandhok argues why we should take Red Bull's dominance in Austria with a grain of salt. Chandhok: "The Red Bull Ring is an atypical track with big elevation changes in corners, there are also corners that slope outwards. It's not a normal track."
The former driver continued: "Red Bull has often been strong there, apart from last year. But in terms of reflecting the current power balance, the Red Bull Ring is not representative."
Clear picture at Silverstone
Chandhok goes on to say he is waiting for the Grand Prix at Silverstone for a better picture of the current balance of power between Red Bull and Mercedes. He explains: "Everyone there will be driving with low downforce levels because Silverstone is a high-speed track. In terms of differences, it will be a lot more exciting."
