Column: Red Bull hope to continue with their success in Formula 1

[RIGHT_IMG=510e9c3a1da133a1f3046617d12ea2b396d06cb9e9210][/RIGHT_IMG] As the 2013 season's second test week is up and running, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner told Sky Sports that the team is still "extremely hungry" to remain the best.

"The bottom line is we just need to keep doing what we are doing," he continued. "We put the pressure on ourselves to perform and deliver and the team is extremely motivated and extremely hungry to maintain the run of success we have had in the last few years. There is a great determination in the team to defend both of these titles we have had in the last few years."

After Sebastian Vettel crossed the finish line to become a triple world champion back in November in Brazil, the team are hoping he or Mark Webber will be the man to claim the title this year. However Horner said it will not be easy for the German to make it four in row.

"Things are different these days - we have the same tyres, testing is limited - it is a much more constricted set of regulations than in Michael's [Schumacher's] time. It is going to be massively tough - it is a healthy period for Formula 1 and the quality of drivers is simply superb at the moment - and for Sebastian to have achieved three world titles already is something remarkable. But he is going to keep pushing very hard to maintain that title for another year."
