Red Bull have admitted that the likelihood of them winning the 2017 constructors title is unlikely due to the speed and strength of their rivals Mercedes and Ferrari.
Red Bull entered this season as favourites to challenge Mercedes for both titles, but have fallen behind Ferrari, and look far from challenging the front of the pack.
"The cars look more aggressive and better but they're also faster," Dr Helmut Marko told Osterreich newspaper. "There is also the fight between Mercedes and Ferrari. Unfortunately, Red Bull is not yet managing to get involved."
However, they are targeting victories in the season, especially their home race in Austria: "In Barcelona we will have a new chassis, and for Montreal the engine update is planned. Then we should be the winner of the Austrian Grand Prix," said Marko, referring to the Spielberg race that Red Bull promotes.
When asked who will win the driver's title, Marko replied: When asked who will win it come late November, Marko answered: "Vettel. Sebastian is far stronger than in the last two years, fully motivated and relaxed."
