There is a well-known maxim that states that perseverance and determination have the power to turn one’s circumstances around. The saying applies particularly to Red Bull, which is right now enjoying a dominant phase but has previously seen its lowest point. The lowest, though, has little to do about being at the bottom but rather being the underdog. While Mercedes continued to enjoy their seven-year reign of dominance during the turbo hybrid era, Red Bull was getting burned psychologically and is now taking advantage of any opportunity to retaliate against the Silver Arrows. By making a subtle jab at the “Goalith,” Christian Horner is attempting to reopen the Mercedes’ wounds.

In the seventy years of F1 history, no other team has had the dominance that Mercedes achieved. Nevertheless, the group is now retracing its steps toward Glory, however, the Brackley-based company would not have wanted to cede even an inch to its bitter adversaries Red Bull during their downfall. However, it appears that fate has a different plan.

The Milton Keynes side pulled out from the deep swamps of sorrow in 2021 thanks to Max Verstappen‘s brilliant season. Although the Dutchman infamously won his first championship, Michael Masi’s poor judgment was the sole factor that made it possible. As a result of that day in Abu Dhabi, the Mercedes camp experienced months of insomnia.

And now that Horner’s team has won all 12 rounds this season, he is using humor and sarcasm to disparage the Silver Arrows as the Austrian team continues its winning streak. Speaking with NextGen Auto Horner tries to revisit the wounds of the Abu Dhabi final by talking about how things have changed since 2021. He stated, “We’re only 19 months after 2021 and it’s amazing how things are changing.”

Later on, he noted how the Austrian team “David” was made stronger by its fortitude and dedication during “Goalith” Mercedes’ rule, “In 2021, we were the challenger, we were the David, Mercedes the Goliath. They had crushed the previous seven years in this sport. We were the challenger, we had nothing to lose, we did everything we could and we succeeded, ” wraps the Red Bull team boss.

One of the main factors contributing to Formula 1’s current success is the back-and-forth between Christian Horner and Toto Wolff. And when in light of Red Bull’s supremacy, Toto Wolff was asked for his view, he made a veiled jab at the company’s management.

How did Toto Wolff take a nasty jab at Christian Horner and Co.?

Nobody is unaware of Red Bull’s affection and love for Max Verstappen. Occasionally, we witnessed the team giving the Dutchman priority over all other drivers. And indeed the Dutchman certainly gave justifications for that by reintroducing the Red Bull’s dominance. This year, Milton Keynes has won every race and has continued to dominate, just like they did in the past year when they won 17 of the 22 races.

So when Toto Wolff’ was posed a question regarding Milton Keynes’s dominance, he gave a nasty response. The Austrian said according to crash.net, “I don’t know whether our dominance was similar or less as I think we had years where we did it in the same way, but at least we had two cars that were fighting each other.”

His words are an obvious reference to the battle between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Besides, Toto also attacked Red Bull’s management with this assertion, claiming that the organization seemed to value Max Verstappen alone.
