Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft believes the🌠 rivalry between🐓 Christian Horner and Toto Wolff stems from the difference in “control” and “power” within their respective teams.

Horner and Wolff’s rivalry stretches back to 2021 when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton went head-to-head for the world championship.

The pair have recently exchanged a war of words following the Chinese Grand Prix when tal💖king about Verstappen’s future at Red Bull.

W✨olff claimed that there are “factors” which could result in Verstappen’s eventual departure, while Horner hit back, stating that the Austrian should place more focus on improving Mercedes on-track performance, not their driver line-up.

On the l🍷ate🐷st episode of the Sky Sports F1 podcast, Croft assessed the dynamic between Wolff and Horner.

Sky’s lead commentator suggested that Horner wishes he had more control of Red Bull, like Wolff d🌊🌳oes at Mercedes.

“I think Christian and Toto will carry on the war of words for their entirety of their time in Formula 1,” said Croft. “It will 🍎just carry on. They’ve got a history, they’ve got a present and I think they’ve got a fut൲ure when it comes to not agreeing with certain things.

“Toto is doing everything that you would expect one of your rivals to do and if your driver is making it public that he 🍨might leave, he’s going to put his arm around him, he’s going to tell him that he’s the most important person o⛎n the planet and ‘come over to us, the grass is much greener at Brackley than it is at Milton Keynes’.

“The one thing that I think is always going to wi💮nd Christian up a little bit as well is t꧒hat for all the success at Red Bull, for all the titles, the trophies, the race wins that they’re enjoying at the moment, Toto Wolff is a co-owner of a Formula 1 team and Christian Horner isn’t.”

Horner is currently CEO of the Red Bull F1 team, while Wolff is one-third owner of M🍌ercedes AMG.

Croft is adamant a lot of the “animosity” stems🐈 from that fact.

“And I don’t think that goes down very well with Christian. I think if you said to him, ‘Would you like to💧 be a co-owner of that Red Bull team?’ Of course he ౠwould. He wants control. He wants power and Toto’s got that because he is a one-third owner of Mercedes,” he added.

“And Christian Horner, he might🌱 be a CEO and he might be a te๊am principal, but he’s a paid employee of the Red Bull Formula 1 team, so he hasn’t got that autonomy to make decisions in the way that Toto has and I think a lot of the animosity on Christian’s side maybe stems from that. But I think Toto also knows how to wind Christian up as well.”
