Team boss Christian Horner believes Red Bull have the best drivers in Formula 1 - and says both men are being given an equal chance of success.
Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber are closing in on Brawn GP’s championship leader Jenson Button after recent one-two finishes in Britain and Germany.
“I think we’ve the best driver line-up in F1 at the moment,” said Horner ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix.
Traditionally in F1, teams will often push greater resources towards one driver as the season progresses in order to maximise the chances of them achieving the best results possible. BBC

“There’s a long way to go to catch up with Jenson Button,” team principal Christian Horner said. “There are no obvious weaknesses in our armoury, but as a group we must continue to push ourselves in all areas all the time. Our drivers are both at the top of their game.”
But the 29-year-old Briton missed the podium in the last two races. Red Bull finished 1-2 at Silverstone and the Nuerburgring with teammates Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber each getting a victory and a second to trim Button’s advantage after nine races.

Team boss Ross Brawn insists they will be back on the pace in Hungary. “We have significant upgrades for Budapest which will bring performance gains but we face a fierce battle,” he said.
“The last two races at Silverstone and the Nurburgring have been frustrating for the team.”
Button added: “Hungary is always one of my favourite races and even more so this year as it should finally be a return to some real summer temperatures.” Mirror.co.uk
