The first part of the 2022 season spent fighting for different goals was not enough to mitigate the profound dislike – which sometimes seemed to transcend into a real personal matter – between Christian Horner And Toto Wolff. The numbers one of Red Bull and Mercedes, protagonists of an endless series of controversial back and forth last year, are back to attack each other openly in Montreal, in a fiery meeting held between the team principals of the various teams and the boss. of the F1 Stefano Domenicali. The meeting took place on Saturday and inevitably had the much talked about agenda FIA porpoising directive. According to many sources, the tone of the meeting would have been extremely heated and Wolff would have dealt harshly with only Horner, but also with the Ferrari driver Mattia Binotto.
A battle with no holds barred that, according to what was reported by the newspapers Auto Motor und Sport And Daily Mail, it would have started from an observation of the head of the red wall. In fact, Binotto would have contested Wolff’s behavior, accused of wanting “rewrite the regulations”Only because of the disappointing performance of the W13 and not for real safety needs. Wolff would have responded angrily, accusing his colleagues of having join forces against him and fearing the risk that the hopping of the cars could soon lead to a “serious accident“. Horner would also have joined the dispute, obviously aligned with Ferrari regarding the regulatory management of the porpoising problem.
There is disagreement on the extent of Wolff’s reaction: some witnesses affirm that the Austrian manager has “lost my mind“Setting off”like in Abu Dhabi 2021“. Others, on the other hand, report a harsh but not excessive confrontation. To add spice to the story, then, involuntarily, the Netflix crew. In fact, the cameramen were monitoring the meeting to create ‘behind the scenes’ content to be included in the next season of the very popular series. Drive to SurvivAnd. For this very reason Horner would have teased Wolff, asking him if he was doing one scene for the use and consumption of the cameras. At this point it will be interesting to see, at the time of the release of the new season – next year – if the battle has really been resumed. What is certain is that relations between Mercedes and the other two top teams on the grid have once again returned to minimum terms, exactly as it had happened last season, in that case with Red Bull alone.
