Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft believes the rivalr💯y between Christian Horner and Toto Wolff stems from the difference in “control” and “powe💖r” within their respective teams.

Horner and Wolff’s rivalry stretches back to 2021 when 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton went head-to-head for the world championship.

Th⛦e pair have recently exchanged a war of words following the Chinese Grand P✨rix when talking about Verstappen’s future at Red Bull.

Wolff claimed that there are “factors” which could result in Verstappen’s eventual dꦜeparture, 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 latest episode of the S꧃ky Sports F1 podcast, Croft assessed the dynam๊ic between Wolff and Horner.

Sky’s lead commentator suggested that Hor﷽ner wishes he had more control of Red Bull, like Wolff does at Mercedes.

“I think Christian and Toto will carry on the war of words for their entirety of their time in Formula 1,” sa🔜id Croft. “It will just carry on. They’ve got a history, they’ve got a present and I think they’ve got a future 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 g🦹oing to put his arm around him, he’s going to tell him that he’s tﷺhe most important person on 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 alwayജs going to wind Chri🐼stian up a little bit as well is that 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 curr♓ently 🌺CEO of the Red Bull F1 team, while Wolff is one-third owner of Mercedes AMG.

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

“And I don’t think that goes down ve꧋ry well with Christian. I think if you said to him, ‘Would you like to be a co-owꦚner of that Red Bull team?’ Of course he would. 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 team 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 thin♔k aꦛ 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.”
