There has been a lot of bickering between Christian Horner and Toto Wolff this season. Amongst others, the incident between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone caused a lot of fuss between the two teams. McLaren team boss Andreas Seidl is keeping an eye on it all.

"Well, I do follow it. I always look at what other teams are doing, also off the track. You can often learn something from that", Seidl said in conversation with Speedweek.com. The exchange of words started back in Monaco between Horner and Wolff and it hasn't stopped since.

In Hungary, the bickering continued solidly again after Valtteri Bottas drove both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez off the track. Seidl said: "One day we might be in a similar situation, so that's why I pay attention."

Seidl learns from the conflicts

"It's not that I'm spending too much time on it now, but there's always something to learn from these kinds of conflicts", the McLaren team boss finished. McLaren is slowly improving and seems to be getting stronger every season. Who knows, they might make a move to the top with the new 2022 regulations.
