Not only is the battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen fierce again, the back and forth of comments between Christian Horner and Toto Wolff has also resumed this weekend. Still angry about the flexiwing debacle, the opinions of the team bosses are not hidden, with a sneer from Toto Wolff being the most recent.

"Christian is a bit of a windbag who likes to be on camera," Toto Wolff began his response to Sky Sports. The team boss was asked to respond to comments Horner previously had made, in which he advised his colleague to 'keep his mouth shut' about Red Bull's flexible rear wing.

Red Bull's flexible wing has been a sticking point for a number of Formula 1 teams for some time now, with Mercedes being the most outspoken critic. According to Wolff Red Bull's wing doesn't meet the regulations of the FIA.

Modesty

Wolff continued his response to Horner, stressing that his fellow team boss should be more modest: "It's easy to say what you want when you're on the top of the time sheets, but you should be a little bit more modest."
