POLL: Will Verstappen success hurt Red Bull's 2022 charge?

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has conceded the "distraction" of last year's championship fight with Mercedes could "shake up" the F1 order.

F1 has seen little change to the established order in recent years with Mercedes claiming the constructors' championship trophy in each of the last eight years.

Max Verstappen's success last year was the first time a non-Mercedes driver claimed championship success since Sebastian Vettel's most recent triumph, also for Red Bull, in 2013.

Despite the insistence of both Mercedes and Red Bull that their season-long battle would not affect the 2022 plans of either team, Horner has now conceded this may not be the case.

Based on Horner's latest comments, we would like to hear your thoughts; Will Verstappen success hurt Red Bull's '22 charge?
