Horner admits real truth about Wolff F1 rivalry
Recently axed Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner has discussed his intense rivalry with archenemy Toto Wolff, acknowledging their competitive relationship during their time as team principals at Mercedes and Red Bull, respectively.
The peak of their rivalry was in the 2021 season, marked by the intense battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, with Red Bull ultimately emerging victorious in both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships.
Despite Red Bull’s post-2021 dominance and Horner’s subsequent departure in July after 20 years, his war of words with Wolff persists, with discussions of a potential move to Alpine on the horizon.
Horner has indicated that he seeks a team ownership role in F1, with negotiations rumored to involve the purchase of a stake in Alpine, subject to approval from Renault.
The ongoing speculation around Horner’s future has stirred interest in the F1 community, with pundits suggesting a potential alliance between Horner and Alpine could materialize by the middle or end of next year.
