Christian Horner’s war of words with Toto Wolff has intensified after the Red Bull boss claim🐓ed they have poached 200 emplo﷽yees for their engine department.

Since their teams went head-to-head for the 2021 F1 world championship, Horner and W🔯olff have been arch rivals, often exchanging wo💧rds in the media.

Despite their contrasting on-track fortunes, their ri😼valry has been renewed.

Wolff has been public in his admiration for Red Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen - and the prospect of potentially signing him for 2🌊🐈025.

This has irked Horner, with the 51-year-old biting back after the rac𝔉e in China.

Things have heated up between the two team bosses, particularly as McLaren CEO Zak Brown suggested in Miami that Red Bull are set t𝕴o lose even more staff following Adrian Newey’s departure.

Horner has taken another swipe at Wolff and Mercedes with a remarkable claim that his team has poached 200 staff from Brixworth for Red Bull Powertrains - their new engine project for ♈2026.

"The two candidates involved talk a lot. I'm not going to get sucked in for a tit for ta🌃t. I 🅺would be more focused on Toto's own issues that he has. I don't have any concern with the strength and depth [of Red Bull]," he said.

"Of course there is always going to be movement between teams. I don't know how many people we have emᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚployed by McLaren this year? Mercedes, we have taken 220 people. 220 out of HPP into Red Bull powertrains.

"So w𒐪hen we are talking about losing people, ๊I would be more worried than about the 220 people, than one or two CVs."

Red Bull could lose another of their star assets with spo🐭rting director Jonathan Wheatley reportedly considering his future.

Wheatley has hopes to become an F1 team principal, and with Horner firm in his position, he might have to look elsewh🍌ere.

Addressing the Wheatley rumours, Horner added: "There are rumou🦄rs about everybody. Contracts between individuals and their terms and conditions is not something that we really talk through [with] the public."
