Years ago Mercedes was the clear dominator of the grill, wherelewis hamilton and Nico Rosberg they had no rivals. However, in 2021 Red Bull took a step forward equalizing forces hand in hand with max verstappenand in 2022 and 2023 they have reversed the situation that had existed since 2014.
This change of roles has not been good for the head of the British team, Toto Wolff, who has despaired on multiple occasions with atypical reactions. On this, the head of Red Bull, Christian Horner, has made some statements in ‘Racingnews’.
Specifically, he referred to when Toto Wolff broke the helmets after watching Hamilton collide with Verstappen in it Saudi Arabian Grand Prix of 2021: “I would never break a pair of headphones“.
“Any sport is a mind game but when you see a part of the camp lose their minds and break some headphones, you think ‘okay, you’re feeling the pressure’Horner explained.

“AND if he feels the pressureso everyone around him feels the pressurebecause the pressure penetrates from above”, assumed.
“Internally, I would have mentally smashed those headphones with the same force as him, but I wouldn’t have physically…I just think everyone is different,” he stressed.
With this reflection, Horner made it clear that he does not sympathize with the way of being of Wolffsomething that he already anticipated in ‘Sky Sports’ months ago: “I have never believed that you can be your competitor’s best friend. I think it’s dishonest“.
And he remarked that they were “competitors”. In turn, she acknowledged that she respects him for everything he has achieved.
This is just one more chapter the dispute between Red Bull and Mercedes. I’m sure he won’t be the last one knowing how Toto Wolff and Christian Horner spend it.
