Red Bull team principal Christian Horner firmly believes that Sebastian Vettel will only improve as the season wears on and as the fight for the title ramps up. For the first time since 2013, Vettel arrives back from the summer break on top of the driver standings.
Horner oversaw Vettel's title fights when the German drove for the Milton Keynes squad, including two highly intense scraps in 2010 and 2012. With Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton not far behind Vettel, Horner thinks that four-time champion will only get stronger as the year progresses.

Vettel Reveals the Ferrari Advice He Gave Hamilton
"Sebastian is a very focused individual so he handled pressure extremely well," he said. "It was almost the more pressure that came on, the better he would respond to it. Particularly when you got to the business end of a championship, he was remarkably strong in his head and his approach.
"So generally when you got to the flyaway races you knew you were within a sniff of having a crack at the championship that he'd deliver from his side. His approach, his application, his attention to detail and his work ethic were all things that enabled him to deliver those four consecutive titles."
