Mark Webber admits that Red Bull could face their stiffest challenge yet at the Italian GP.
Much has been made of the Milton Keynes-based team's preference for tight circuits rather than ones such as Monza that have a number of long straights, with the aerodynamics of their car not suited to tracks with such characteristics.
Webber, who is currently sitting in second spot on the Drivers' standings, confesses that a number of teams will be in contention come race day but that Red Bull could still do well.
"[Monza is] renowned for its many long straights, that means a lot of heavy braking so it can be quite hard on the car," said Webber.
"I think we can still do well at Monza.
"We might have a bit more in the way of opposition - in addition to Ferrari, McLaren and Renault, Force India could also be in the mix for the top places," he explained.
Webber's team-mate, Sebastian Vettel, echoed the Australians sentiments that the race would be tough and asserted that the Red Bulls would not go down without a fight.
"I think it won't be easy for us, due to the long straights, but I'm sure we will do our best and keep fighting until the end," he said.
Heading to Italy Red Bull top the Constructors' standings, one point ahead of McLaren.
