Toto Wolff & Christian Horner Call a Truce Over F1 Engines

It’s not often rivals such as Mercedes and Red Bull agree with each other, but once in a while they call a truce and can find middle ground on certain topics. The team principal of Red Bull agrees with the main boss of the Silver Arrows, Toto Wolff, about the future of engines in Formula One which are set to come in 2025.

Both Wolff & Horner agree on extending the time of line by a year as it will add to the cost of the team’s budget but hope to find a solution that all the teams on the grid can agree on.

Mercedes boss, Toto Wolff sees eye-to-eye with Horner about the future of F1

As quoted from FormulaPassion.it, Horner stated, “more reasonable to plan the update [electric] motors without leaving anything to chance, making it postpone by a year.”

Wolff was on the same lines, like his arch-rival from Red Bull & said, “I hope that in the end we will be able to find a meeting point that everyone can agree on. I believe that we could easily advance the use of environmentally friendly fuels by one year and extend the current PU rules for another twelve months. That’s what all the teams would like.” (Translated from Italian via Google translate)

The Raging Bull have 286 points to their name, while the 7-times constructor’s winners have 242. Wolff & Co. haven’t seen the chequered flag in P1 place since the Monaco Grand Prix, but are hoping to change that at the upcoming British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

They are wary of the fact of how Red Bull can be deadly around the track, and are hoping to step their game up for the tenth round of the 2021 season.

While on the other hand, Horner & Co. would like to keep the Silver Arrows in their rearview mirrors and claim another victory this season to further extend their lead in the championship.
