The F1 move that could see Christian Horner work WITH Toto Wolff
“Christian Horner and Toto Wolff are key figures in one of F1’s most famous rivalries, but they might need to set aside their disputes in 2026.
Their public clashes during Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s 2021 title battle were iconic, providing drama continuing on Drive to Survive.
Mercedes’ Wolff has irked Horner, from coveting Verstappen to likening him to a ‘yapping terrier.’
Though Wolff may relish Horner’s diminished power, their rivalry may not be over, potentially working together in 2026.
Horner may consider a role at Alpine, where his experience and friendship with Briatore could prove beneficial, despite the Mercedes partnership.
If Horner joins Alpine, he must navigate a working relationship with Mercedes, including their boss Wolff.
Wolff’s influence in Mercedes and F1 adds complexity, especially if the team signs Verstappen.
Nevertheless, Horner’s expertise could aid Alpine’s F1 aspirations, needing a lift from their current middling status.”
