Horner pokes fun at Wolff with ‘Wikipedia’ joke about Red Bull success

Mercedes boss Wolff described 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s record-breaking 10th win in a row at the recent Italian Grand Prix as “irrelevant” and simply being a statistic 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“for Wikipedia”

An unprompted Horner couldn’🧸t resist a cheeky dig at Wolff as he discussed Red Bull’s remarkable rise and success over the years in F1 ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix. 

“When I first came in it was clear that Dietrich [Mateschitz] had come into F1 because he wanted to compete and had bought what was the Jaguar F1 team which had been a sort of perennial seventh place finisher,” Horner said on a weekend Red Bull can cli🥂nch their sixth constructors' championship. 

“It was about then constructing a team a🔯nd I don’t think anyone of us could have envisaged what lay🌱 ahead of us. Within 19 seasons we’ve achieved what we have and it’s been a phenomenal journey so far. But it’s never a question of looking back, it’s always a question of looking forward. 

“If we can close out these championships in the coming races that again, well nobody looks at Wikipedia these days, but that again is a huge statistic thꦐat everybody will be immensely proud of.  

"I think for us, it then becomes about next year, the year aftไer and, of course, the next c🌌hapter for Red Bull, which is with the relationship with Ford in 2026 with producing our own powertrain. 

“Going from zero with a star🐲tup company effectively and building a facility. That is the next challenge. But it's been quite a journey, and hopefully, there are a few more chapters to go.” 

Wolff is not in atte꧋ndance at Suzuka this weekend as he undergoes knee surgery.
