The beef between Wolff and Horner intensified
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff sees their competitors from Milton-Keynes at an unfair advantage, as their flexi wings give them more speed, but also violate certain rules of the FIA with regard to aerodynamics.
However, Christian Horner thinks that Wolff should keep his mouth shut because he has an advantage with the front wing. As quoted from auto racing, Horner said: “I think if I were Toto with the front wing that he has on his car, I would shut up.”

Now, as the rivals prepare for the French Grand Prix, they both hope to beat each other. Especially Mercedes, who want to recover after their disastrous weekend in Baku, are hoping to catch up with the Raging Bulls, who are currently leading the championship.
