Talking about Toto Wolff, Christian Horner said that this is the very first time that Toto has been challenged by some other team. According to Horner, Toto came into Mercedes and inherited a team that already had the drivers and the engine in place. And even though Toto has done a good job to keep that team at the top, he has never really faced any real competition.

Mercedes has established domination of the sport ever since the start of the hybrid era in 2014. And since then, this is the first season where some other team has managed to keep up with them till the very end. Still, Horner believes that there’s respect between the two teams, “This is the first time it’s a true scrap, it’s a true competition. And there is a respect, I think, between the teams, but I think we operate in very different ways.”

“I want to be very much on the front line, I sit on the pit wall with the strategists and the engineers. Toto will sit in the garage next to the press guy, so they’re different functions, they’re different roles. They’re different outlooks, but of course, the competition is fierce. I think that’s the key thing about this championship.”
The Red Bull boss took a jab at Toto at the very end and said. “We’re loving the competition and the more Toto gets wound up, the more fun it becomes.”
