After the race in Abu Dhabi, a joint photo of Christian Horner and Toto Wolff circulated on social networks. In the photo, the heads of the Red Bull Racing and Mercedes teams embrace each other with a broad smile. The photo gave rise to many jokes, because everyone knows what a difficult relationship Christian and Toto have.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports News, Horner responded to a photo with Wolff: “We respect each other. After all, Mercedes has achieved phenomenal results during their period of dominance and remains a fantastically strong team.
We had a great season and didn’t see much of Mercedes this year, so we just took a photo together at the end of the season. Like I said, we treat each other with respect. Racing should be limited to fighting on the track.”
When asked if he wanted Mercedes to be a stronger competitor in 2024, Horner replied with a grin: “Not really.”
In turn, Toto Wolff, commenting for the Austrian publication OE24, commented on the photo with Horner: “The photo was taken at the exit of the paddock. There was a large group surrounded by Mark Mateschitz, including his mother and a number of people I know well.
I joined them and had a nice chat with Jerry [супругой Хорнера]and then we took a picture.
Are we friends? The last time we shook hands was in 2021, before the last race. But you have to respect the performance of your opponents. I respect everything the Red Bull team has achieved.”
