Horner lashes out at Mercedes: 'Nobody can take this championship away'

Mercedes will protest against the victory of Max Verstappen. Christian Horner is disappointed that Mercedes again went to the FIA and hopes that the stewards will act fairly.

The previous times Mercedes went to the FIA it caused long nights. Jack Plooij asks on the Ziggo Sport broadcast if Horner is expecting another long night.

"Let’s wait for the stewards. I’m disappointed there are two protests. It has been that kind of season. We trust in the stewards to hopefully make the right decision," the team boss told us.

Horner totally disagrees with Mercedes and hopes Verstappen's world championship is not taken away by the protests. "I don't think it's good for anyone," he said. "A quick conclusion, because he has won the championship. They can’t take that away. It’s disappointing that the protests have been made, but I guess that’s what we’ve come to expect this year."
