Mercedes Formula One team boss Toto Wolff branded Red Bull rival Christian Horner a"bit of a windbag" on Saturday as a war of words over"bendy wings" showed no sign of abating at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Red Bull are leading Mercedes by a point in the constructors' standings after five races and this weekend's event in Baku has been overshadowed by an argument over aerodynamics.Mercedes and others have put the spotlight on Red Bull's rear wing, with accusations that it bends the rules by flexing at speed to gain a performance advantage, while Horner has returned fire on the champions.
The Austrian also reminded viewers that Red Bull were penalised for a flexing front wing in 2014,"so I think he has a bit of a track record there." The Dutch driver dismissed the complaints as rivals just trying to slow him down, and he joined Horner in changing the focus from back to front."I can understand people complaining ... but it's all within the rules so far. There's nothing wrong with it," he told reporters questioning his car's rear wing.
