Christian Horner hits out at ‘typical’ Toto Wolff: ‘Focused on self-gain rather than the sport’
F1 i🐲s set to embark on a new set of technical regulations in 2026 with the introduction of a new power unit.
In short, the engines for 2026 will be more powerful than their predecessor but also more sustaina🌳b🐎le as F1 aims to run races on 30kg less fuel than currently.
The new rules have attracted new manufacturers such as A🙈udi - as a wo𒁏rks outfit - and Ford, who have partnered up with Red Bull.
During the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, there were contrasting views about the 2026 rules, with Horner and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappenꦚ expressing their concerns about the impact they’ll have on the racing.
In response, Wolff suggested that Red Bull’s worrꦅies are linked to how their own engine project is progressing.
In their latest war of words, Horner has hit back൲ at the Mercedes team boss, claiming that the🐟 German is “focused on self-performance”.
“Unfortunꦍately that's typically Toto where he's just focused on self-performance," Horner said. "My interest is actually about th🅰e sport rather than self-gain.
“It's still way too early to say who's going to have a competitive or un♑competitive e💫ngine in 2026… for me the most important thing is from a sports point of view, that we all have a collective responsibility to work with the FIA and the commercial rights holder to ensure that the product is as good as it can be, otherwise we've all failed.”
Horner’s response came after Wolff’s comments.
Wolff said: “I think what frightens him more maybe is that his engine prog♍ramme is not coming along and that maybe he wants to kill it that way.
“So you al🎉ways havꩲe to question what's the real motivation to say something like that.”
Wolff has be🌠en quoted as saying there’s “zero chance” of the rules being adjusted ahead of 2026: “That's not going to happen, zero chance, capital letters.”
