It was yet another nail-biting end to the race at Le-Castellet, adding up to an already intense 2021 F1 season. The Max Verstappen – Lewis Hamilton rivalry has definitely brought interest towards the sport. However, the Red Bull F1 boss, Christian Horner, isn’t as excited as the viewers.
The Briton reckoned that he is visibly aging with each passing weekend, all thanks to the wheel-to-wheel battles between the two title rivals.
What’s more, Horner also kick-started banter with his rival team boss. He affirmed that he would be glad to give Mercedes’ Toto Wolff a “few grey hairs” as well.

Horner and Wolff are already in an intense ‘boss’ rivalry, having exchanged some spicy words since the weekend in Barcelona. It all started with the rear-wing bending row when Hamilton spotted the potential flexible rear wing on the Red Bull of Verstappen.
The heated exchange of words took a turn for the worst when Wolff branded the 47-year-old a ‘windbag’ at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last weekend.
Who Owns the Red Bull F1 Team?
Red Bull bringing out an incredible race strategy
While Barcelona witnessed Hamilton opt for a counter-strategy against Verstappen to win the race, it was payback time for Red Bull here in France.
The Milton Keynes outfit caught Mercedes napping and pushed for a 2-stop strategy against Hamilton’s one-stopper. And the outcome unsurprisingly favored Verstappen, who snatched the race lead from the Briton on the very last lap.
It wasn’t just Verstappen who was on fire, but his teammate, Sergio Perez, as well. The Mexican chose to do a longer first stint on the medium tires.
And with Mercedes opting not to pit either of their drivers, Perez had a massive tire advantage over Bottas, whose tires were almost dead with over 4 laps still in hand.
