Infiniti Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner has admitted that his outfit head to the next two Grand Prix at the Spa Francorchamps circuit in Belgium and the Monza circuit in Italy in damage limitation mode. The high speed nature of both circuit will suit the Mercedes powered cars better then the under performing Renault power unit in the back of the RB10.

Horner has stated that the Singapore Grand Prix in September is his teams 'golden opportunity' to secure strong result. 

The team took a great victory last time out at the Hungaroring when Daniel Ricciardo took his second Grand Prix victory of the season having won the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in June. The Australian is currently in third place in the Driver's championship best of the rest after the Mercedes duo of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. 

Horner believes that Sahara Force India will re emerge as a challenger in the coming Grand Prix. The Silverstone based outfit are currently in fifth place in the Constructors championship just one point ahead of McLaren Mercedes.

Red Bull are currently in second place in the Constructors championship 174 point's behind Mercedes with a maximum of 387 point's available out the eight Grand Prix left in 2014.
