Of course, this is mainly about Christian Horner, team boss Red Bull and his colleague on the Mercedes side To Toto Wolff, who do not miss this year no opportunityto shoot in both directions with poisonous verbal arrows and accusations.
According to a Dutch analyst Jack Plooi it has a logical reason. “Niki Lauda and Helmut Marko had lunch together every day at the racetrack. They sat together facing each other, usually in the living room Red Bulla. I think a lot of fires were put out between them that we didn’t even know happened. But now we have them. I think now Lauda would order his compatriot Mark to keep Horner in his cabin, and Lauda would do the same with Toto. Because of that, we didn't hear anything,”He explained Plooy.
This year it is a different song. The teams were arguing hotly with each other in Silverstone, after Lewis Hamilton crashed into Max Verstappen and sent him off the track into a protective fence. “I think there are other reasons for this to happen, but personally I’m not used to it from Wolff. He had always been somewhat political and calm, but now it all grew into a furious dispute between him and Horner."
