Chrisitan Horner remains concerned about the effects the 2019 aerodynamic changes will have on the racing. Ross Brawn and his team have introduced the alterations in the hope it'll increase the number of overtakes as drivers can follow closely behind.
However, the Red Bull boss is reserving his judgement. In Abu Dhabi, he shed some light on his views to Crash.
"It's a significant change. One thing affects another, and obviously, it's been a very costly change. Would it affect the ability for the cars to follow closely? Maybe a little but not tangibly so," Horner said.
“Inevitably somebody will get it right some teams will get it wrong. If anything, more gaps between the teams [will occur]. The best way to achieve close grid is stability, and then the teams will concertina and converge.”
The 2021 season will see plenty more changes hit the cars. Horner believes rushing the introduction of the aerodynamic changes wasn't the right thing to do.
“I think probably with hindsight, I think all the teams would recognise now that perhaps it wasn’t the right thing to rush through, but let’s reserve judgement until we see the first four or five races next year," Horner added.
