Away from the racetrack, the most talked-about incident is the ongoing battle between Team Principals, Toto Wolff, and Christian Horner. Amidst the turmoil, McLaren’ Andreas Seidl has taken this as a learning experience.

Ever since the events at Silverstone where Lewis Hamilton took out Max Verstappen. Red Bull boss Horner has been attacking the Silver Arrows. However, Wolff of Mercedes hasn’t backed down either and defended his Brackley-based colleagues.

Things escalated at the recent Hungarian GP, where Valtteri Bottas damaged both Red Bulls in the opening lap. This saw things heat up even more between the team bosses.
