At the height of the 2021 championship showdown, the feud between Toto Wolff and Christian Horner reached fever pitch, so why, after two years of relative calm, is their rivalry being renewed?
In a recent conversation with Christian Horner, I inquired about the pressure of being the target in Formula 1. He emphasized the importance of self-focus, whether one is the pursuer or the one being pursued. Red Bull’s shift from the hunting team to the hunted occurred swiftly after consecutive championship victories led by Horner. The team’s domination with 21 wins from 22 races created a formidable force, particularly with Max Verstappen’s remarkable performance. Despite internal turmoil, Red Bull’s success prompted interest from Mercedes’s Toto Wolff in Verstappen as a potential driver. Given Red Bull’s continued triumphs, Wolff’s pursuit intensifies, sparking tensions in the F1 community.
