Christian Horner hits out at ‘typical’ Toto Wolff: ‘Focused on self-gain rather than the sport’
F1 is set to embark on a new set of technicౠal regulations in 2026 with the int𝓀roduction of a new power unit.
In short, the engines for 2026 will be more powerful than their predecessor but also more sustain♔able as F1 aims to run races on 30kg less fuel than currently.
The new rules have attracted new༒ manufacturers such as Audi - as a works outfit - and Ford, who have partnered up with Red 🌄Bull.
During the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, there were contrasting views about the 2026 rules, with Horner and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen expressing✤ their concerns about the impact they’ll have on the racing.
🔜In response, Wolff suggested that Red ൲Bull’s worries are linked to how their own engine project is progressing.
In their latest war of words, Horner has hit back at the Mercedes team boss,👍 claiming that the German is “focused on self-performance”.
“Unfortunately that's typically Toto where he's just focused on self-performance," Horner s♉aid. "My interest is actually about the sport rather than self-gain.
“It's still way too early to say who's going to have a competitive or uncompetitive engine in 2026… for me the most important thing is from a sports point of view, that we all have a collective responsibility to work with the FIA and the commercial 🐼rights holder to ensure that the product is as good as it can be, otherwise we've all failed.”
Horner’s response came after Wolff’s comments.
Wolff said: “I think wh♋at frightens him more maybe is that his engine programme is not coming along and that maybe he wants to kill it that way.
“So you always h🍌ave to question what's the real motivation to say something like that.”
Wolff has been quoted as saying there’s “zer🌌o chance” of the rules being adjusted ahead of 2026: “That's not going to happen, zero chance, capital letters.”
