With the competition between Mercedes and Red Bull, or Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, rather, getting closer with each passing day, the rivalry between the two team bosses is also heating up quickly. The two have been taking jabs at each other in the media, and Mercedes’ Toto Wolff is the latest to deliver a punch.

The two will face each other this weekend as their teams go head to head for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. But who will come out on top Wolff’s Silver Arrow or Horner‘s Red Bull, we shall soon find out, as lights out is just hours away.

Toto Wolff of Mercedes feels Horner should show some modesty

As quoted by PlanetF1, The Austrian said, “Christian is a bit of a windbag who wants to be on camera. It’s about being punchy  – it’s easy to be punchy when you’re on top of the timesheet, but he should be a little bit more modest I think.” 

Wolff made this comment after the Red Bull boss told him to be quiet, albeit in a different tone. Horner said, “So sometimes you have to be a little bit careful with what you wish for. I think if I was Toto, with the front wing he has got on his car I would keep my mouth shut.”
