The rivalry between Toto Wolff and Christian Horner is not unknown to anyone who watches Formula One. The latest season of Drive To Survive throws some more spotlight on the clashes as Toto even companies Christian to a ‘Jack Russell Terrier.’

The infamous 2021 season was a huge clash between the two F1 powerhouses, Mercedes and Red Bull. Throughout the season, fans witnessed neck-to-neck battles between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. However, the cars and the drivers weren’t the only ones fighting. Because a huge rivalry was also going on off-grid between Wolff and Horner.

The Netflix F1 series Drive To Survive is incomplete without the encounters between the two bosses. In the DTS Season 4 Episode 9, Wolff shares his thoughts on the Red Bull team principal. The Mercedes boss shares his thoughts on how an F1 Team Principal should conduct themselves.

“Christian is a bit like a Jack Russell Terrier who likes to snap at your heels,” The Mercedes team principal said. “It is expected that every team principal is gonna fight for the benefit of his own team. But whining in the press is something that I have seen on a new level this year.”
