Red Bull boss Christian Horner is certain the balance of power will continue to swing between 2013's leading runners from circuit to circuit when the European season commences despite his team's surprisingly dominant showing in Bahrain.

Pirelli are meeting on Tuesday to review their compounds' performance after the opening phase of the season and decide on whether they will make changes to the specifications from next month's Spanish GP. Horner, whose Red Bull team were believed to have been one of two outfits pushing for Pirelli to revert to their 2012-spec tyres at the time of the Malaysian GP last month, continues to insist the rubber is "still too on an edge". "Needing to four-stop in a race I think is a bit too extreme and there are other teams that look like they've got bigger issues than Red Bull with their tyres," he added. "You need to speak to them to ask their opinion but I do feel the tyres are too on an edge and just need to come back a little bit."
