"Maybe already, but certainly by no later than next season, it is the best driving pairing in formula one," he told Auto Bild.
Red Bull's motorsport advisor Dr. Helmut Marko agrees, and thinks that the next three world champions will be driving for Red Bull if they are not behind the wheel of one of the dominant Mercedes.
"Our engine manufacturer Renault is now properly on the gas, our chassis is always one of the best, so it is not arrogant to argue that a driver must be sitting in a Red Bull or a Mercedes to win a title in the next three years."
Red Bull currently sits second in the constructors' championship, considerably behind Mercedes, but locked in a a battle with Ferrari for the runner up spot.
Team principal Christian Horner said that the team's aim is to remain in second in the championship, after overhauling Ferrari for the first time after last month's German Grand Prix.
"The goal for this year is to keep second place in the constructors' championship, win more races and then go for the title next year," he said.
