Red Bull’s Christian Horner doesn’t go too well with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff. Even though their relationship isn’t too sweet, there was one time when Horner drew a line and didn’t want to get influenced by Wolff. Calling him a “control freak” the Red Bull boss slammed the Mercedes honcho for his habit.

Wolff, who had F1 under his control from 2014 to 2020, might have possibly grown up with this habit of always being the winner. In a report published by The Telegraph in 2021, the Briton shared about the Silver Arrows boss, “It’s a competitive business, and Toto’s a little bit of a control freak, as we can see.”

“And the one thing he can’t control is Red Bull. I’m probably the only one to have no conflicts of interest with Toto. I can speak my mind and tell him what I think. He maybe finds that slightly uncomfortable,” further asserted Horner.
