Mark Webber has tipped Red Bull to win next month’s Monaco Grand Prix.

The Australian, who retired from Formula One in 2013 after a seven-year stint with the reigning world champions, acknowledged that for now, dominant Mercedes will continue to lead the way at Grands Prix.

But Webber warned: “They (Red Bull) will get back to Mercedes’ level.

“They need some time, but it’s normal,” he told the Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten. “You can’t win for 15 years in a row.

“Everyone’s saying they’re not strong because they’re finishing second or third, and Red Bull did do a lot of winning (in the past) but I’m sure they will win again this year.
