Horner: Wolff will be ‘plotting’ Mercedes F1 2024 title bid
“Horner and Wolff were involved in a heated rivalry during the 2021 season as their teams, Red Bull and Mercedes, battled for the championship titles. Despite Mercedes’ dominance in previous seasons, the new regulations have tipped the scale in favor of Red Bull, with the team winning 32 out of 38 races compared to Mercedes’ solitary victory. Horner acknowledges Mercedes’ strength and expects them to work tirelessly to regain their dominance. While Horner respects Wolff, he believes that rivalry is essential in sports and expects Mercedes to fight back. Though Red Bull has now reclaimed the teams’ championship, Horner acknowledges the pain of losing and the cyclical nature of success in Formula 1. Red Bull’s focus is solely on their own performance and achieving their goals. Verstappen, with a significant lead in the Drivers’ Championship, only needs three points to secure his third World Champion title. While Horner is hopeful, he understands that surpassing the records set by Hamilton and Schumacher with seven titles is a significant challenge. Verstappen’s focus is on winning the remaining races and enjoying the present success of the team.”
