Max Verstappen's special quality uncovered as Red Bull F1 chief sets out to beat Mercedes

“I don’t think I would describe this as worrying,” Monaghan said. “I think what it is, is it’s set the bar that we’ve got to develop faster than Mercedes to challenge them for the championship.

“We can do that, we have done that in the past. Can we do it again? I think it’s entirely within our grasp but it also depends on what Mercedes do.

“So worrying? No. Challenging? Yes, enormously. We’re working with Honda and we’ll make the package as good as we can and if that means we can catch the Mercedes, great.

“It doesn’t actually change what we’re going to do, it more just defines how much we have to catch them by and then it’s down to them as well.”
