Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has blasted Red Bull team boss Christian Horner for interfering in a matter between Max Verstappen and George Russell from la
from last weekend's Qatar Grand Prix, and in the process, calling the Mercedes driver "hysterical." Wolff admitted that Horner "crossed a line" for targeting his driver.
The fallout saw Russell seeking a penalty for Verstappen, which ultimately demoted the four-time champion from pole position to P2. At the Drivers' Press Conference in Abu Dhabi, Verstappen criticized the handling of the situation, voicing frustration over the penalty and cautioning against the precedent it could establish for future races.
Now, Russell has provided a detailed account of what transpired in Qatar, accusing Verstappen of issuing threats. While Wolff recognized the clash as a matter for the drivers to resolve, he criticized Horner for unnecessarily inserting himself into the situation. Wolff accompanied Russell to the media session in Abu Dhabi and responded to Horner's remarks about his driver.
