The battle between Red Bull Racing and Mercedes has already seen a lot of highlights this season, with team bosses Christian Horner and Toto Wolff regularly expressing their anger in the media. Wolff, however, wants to stay focused on racing.
The Austrian clashed with Horner several times this season, including in Azerbaijan. Afterwards, he regrets his reaction, he told The Express. "I got annoyed in Baku, and that is not something that's normally happening to me. On reflection, I want to concentrate my focus on the team and on myself, rather than be distracted by noise."
"Baku wasn't 'back away', I just got triggered," Wolff continued. "In the end, I am not interested anyway in chatter. Whatever is said or written, it is just distracting. It has the potential to distract you, and I don't want to be distracted. I just want to look, I just want to look inside."
Verstappen vs Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton took the lead in the championship at the start of the season, but suddenly had to relinquish his lead to Max Verstappen after the Monaco Grand Prix. After incidents in Great Britain and Hungary, where the Dutchman was involved in two accidents, the roles are reversed again.
