ܫToto Wolff and Christian Horner have each enjoyed multiple eras of Fꦦ1 dominance.

The rivalry between Mercedes and Red Bull - and the war of words between their team principals - was captured dramatically by Netflix’s Drive To Survive and continues to this da🤪y.

Guenther Steiner was asked by the Red Flꦍ🥀ags podcast whether Wolff or Horner was more irritating during their periods of dominance.

Steiner pondered: “Who was more annoying on top?
“I would say Christian! It came with too🔜 much drama.

“There was never really any drama with Toto - ‘we are winning because we are the besꦡඣt!’”

Red Bull won four titles in a row with Sebastian Vettel, and Max Verstapp⛎en is fighting for his fourth consecutive championship this season.

Merce🀅des helped Lewis Hamilton become F1’s most successful driver until the balance of power changed at the 2021 Abu D⛄habi Grand Prix.

Steiner has teas✃ed🥂 Mercedes for blaming their recent troubles on tyres.

After a period of t🎃hree wins in four grands prix, they have slipped behind McLa꧟ren, Red Bull and Ferrari again.

“I wouldn’t say they were good,” Stei𝔍ner said. “They are a little bit lost in what they are doing.

“The comments from George are always the s🎀ame - ‘the tyre doesn’t work’.

“Yeah, if y𒐪our car isn’t good, ꧋the tyre doesn’t work! I’m sorry.

“I was there before and it’s not something new.

“▨If you don’t know who to blame, just blame Pirelli! It’s straightforward!

“They had a few races💞 where they were very good and they surprised me. But then they lost it again.

“It’s very up and down.”

'Ferrari will decide drivers' champion'

Steiner compared Mercedes’ inconsisten﷽cy to 🀅Ferrari’s.

“It’s a little bit like the Ferraris, they have a simi✤lar pattern,” he said.

“In Singapore, Carlos Sainz and Charle💯s Leclerc messed up otherwise they would be on the podium.

“Ferrari will decide who wil🐟l be the drivers’ champion.

“It’s how many points they can steal from Max.

“So, Zak Brown needs to be nice to Fred Vasseurꦗ, and not to Christian Horner! Fred helps him.

“What McLaren showed in Singapore, wow. Zak does a good job of being l⭕o⛦ved. He makes peace with Christian.

“But he’ll steal the championship without themꦿ not𝓀icing.”
