“You Sit on Toto & Drop Something”: Max Verstappen Likens Mercedes Boss to a Toilet in Uncanny Christian Horner Narrative

Christian Horner and Toto Wolff are undoubtedly two of the biggest names in the world of F1. The two team principals are always up against each other to be better than the other in every aspect. However, there was one ‘weird’ situation when Horner might have had the upper hand over the Mercedes boss Wolff.

As shared by Verstappen in a recent interview with Pardon My Take, the Red Bull boss strangely got the better of Toto in Japan. When asked if Christian Horner found the perfect toilet before the race, in reference to the Brit’s lucky toilet ritual, the 25-year-old driver shared, “We found that one in Japan, it’s called Toto. So basically you just sit on Toto and drop something on Toto.”

Interesting, that was not Toto Wolff of Mercedes AMG F1 for sure, but a toilet of the same name. Admittedly enough, Verstappen has surely taken a dig at his rival team boss through this.

As per the French edition of Motorsport, Wolff said, “The fact is that nine of the 10 teams have stayed under the budget cap. The fact is that one team is now claiming to have exceeded it with alleged problems that are not performance related, but these apply to us as well.”

The 50-year-old boss further asserted on the catering saga, “We too have been thinking about how many sandwiches we give people and how to overcome various financial hurdles.”
