The media war between Red Bull Racing and Mercedes continues. Christian Horner recently indicated that he enjoys the fact that Mercedes is being put under more and more pressure. Toto Wolff reacts.
Horner argued that Mercedes have had no opposition for the past seven years and that they are not used to having to fight for the championship. 'We're loving the competition and the more Toto gets wound up, the more fun it becomes,' said the Red Bull team boss.
Wolff is not happy with Horner's comments
Wolff is unhappy with the comments of his rival, stating that he is not getting excited at all. "No, not at all. That he thinks about these things is a bit worrying," he responded to Channel 4.
The Austrian also cannot agree with the claim that Mercedes had no opposition. "I think you must not forget that in 2018 and 2019 we had really hard battles against Ferrari at that stage," he explains. "I think one of the years we were lying behind before shutdown, only in autumn we managed to turn it around. These battles were really hard and no different to the current one," the Mercedes team boss concludes.
