Haas' Kevin Magnussen believes that if there is one team which can put a stop to Mercedes' dominance, it's Red Bull Racing.
The Dane is predicting that the Milton Keynes squad will give the Silver Arrows more tha just a run for their money in 2017.
"Red Bull will be the big surprise," Magnussen said.
"So that should be interesting to have not only one team fighting for the wins. Hopefully Ferrari will be stronger as well."
As for his own prospects this year, Magnussen insists that Haas is still very much a work in progress, and one which lacks the huge ressources enjoyed by the teams at the front of the grid.
"Our biggest challenge is going to be to extract everything and understand it properly because we are a small team and we don't have enough people yet to throw analysis on everything and get everything analysed," he added.
"So we will have to work really hard to try and get the most out of what we have, which I hope and think will be a good package."
