Ferrari test driver Marc Gene believes that Red Bull will continue to be strong for the 2014 Formula 1 campaign.
The Milton Keynes-based outfit dominated the 2013 campaign by winning the constructors' title, while Sebastian Vettel comfortably secured the drivers' title.
"There will always be continuity," Gene told Spanish newspaper AS. "The cars will still be F1 cars, and many parts of the car will be the same.
"The team that wins the championship the year before always starts with an advantage, but maybe with less benefit [for 2014] than if there had been the same rules."
Next year, Ferrari will line up with drivers Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, while Vettel will be joined by Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull following Mark Webber's Formula 1 exit.
