Horner and Wolff went through a tough phase last year. The two bosses were cutthroat when making statements about each other. A vicious tussle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton ensued, where Wolff and Horner often butted heads. In their pursuit to claim their driver as the ultimate winner, the two men were involved in antics unmatched. Wolff even broke his headphone several times!

While Mercedes is not an actual threat to Red Bull this season, they have managed to keep ahead of them. With Red Bull’s reliability dwindling, Verstappen’s titular chances, Silver Arrows’ have gotten lucky with the podium that belonged to Red Bull. With Verstappen not finishing twice in three races, Horner and the Austrian team look for a solution.
