No race fan needs an introduction to the heated relationship of Red Bull and Mercedes. Moreover with Christian Horner and Toto Wolff being at each other’s throat continuously, numerous verbal jabs have been thrown from one party to another since the beginning of the 2021 Formula 1 season. Although it is Mercedes and its driver leading the proceedings in respective standings, Horner feels otherwise. 

To those who are not aware about the positioning, the Austrian racing stable is behind in the constructors’ championship. Where Mercedes have achieved 397.5 points this season, Red Bull have not got further than 364.5 so far.

The Red Bull boss has been through several championship battles in his life, but thinks they are different from the usual ones. “When we competed against McLaren for the championship and Lewis Hamilton was driving for them, and when we were competing against Ferrari with Fernando Alonso and Stefano Domenicali, it was a very different atmosphere to this one. This has felt a lot more political with lots more going on behind the scenes,” he told news agency PA.

The Red Bull team boss was referring in part to the incident in Italy, where Verstappen received a penalty for ending up on top of Hamilton’s car. “I was really disappointed to hear Toto call it a tactical foul. Max is a racing driver and he is going to go for a gap and both drivers knew how important it was to be ahead and neither wanted to concede.”
