Red Bull boss Christian Horner admits his team may struggle at the upcoming races at Spa and Monza, with their car not suiting the faster tracks.

The Milton Keynes-based team have dominated proceedings at most circuits thus far, especially on the tight tracks at which high levels of downforce are required.

However, both Spa-Francorchamps and Monza feature more long straights with engine power crucial, an area in which the Renault-powered Red Bulls may not have the edge on their competitors.

Current Championship leader Mark Webber has already conceded that his team "don't have the most powerful engine", and speaking to Auto Motor und Sport, Horner has outlined the areas in which the team need to focus on if they are to do well at Spa.

"In the windy sector two we must make up time," explained the Briton.

"On the hill down to Eau Rouge and the long straight to the finish we will lose time again."

According to the German magazine it is Ferrari who will perform the best at Spa, with their car well-suited to the Belgian track.
