F1 LIVE | Horner–Wolff private chat surfaces as Russell’s girlfriend undergoes surgery

In an episode of the eighth season of the popular Netflix series — released on 27 February and focused on the exit of former Red Bull team principal — viewers are shown a private exchange between the two of them, as the two long-time rivals share a sporting farewell on camera.

During the episode, Wolff reflects on their turbulent relationship, admitting he struggled to find the right words. He acknowledged the intensity of their rivalry, describing Horner as both a difficult opponent and one of the sport’s defining figures, while joking that F1 would lose a key protagonist without him. Wolff also pointed out how their respective teams had claimed 14 of the previous 15 world championships, underlining the scale of their dominance — and humorously questioning who he would now “fight” on the pit wall.

Horner later replied in the exchange by praising the fierce competition that had defined their years at the front of the grid. He thanked Wolff for the rivalry and the constant battles between Red Bull and Mercedes, noting that no other teams had come close to matching their success over that period. Ending on a lighter note, Horner signed off with a playful jab, joking that Wolff might finally have time for a haircut.

Mundt, who has gained increasing recognition through her presence around the Formula 1 paddock, shared on her platforms that she had successfully undergone surgery after being diagnosed with appendicitis.

In a photo posted to her Instagram story, Montero Mundt appeared in a hospital bed alongside the Mercedes driver, reassuring followers that the operation had been a success.

The 28-year-old accompanied the image with a heartfelt message, jokingly describing the Mercedes driver as her favourite nurse as she began her recovery.
