With Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton duelling it ouꩲt on track for the 2021 Formula 1 drivers' championship, team bosses Toto Wolff and Christian Horner had their fair share of battles off it through the media. 

Despite both Wolff and Horner claiming they wanted to move on from the events in Abu Dhabi at the first 2022 pre-season test in Barcelona, both men🌄 have hit the headlines once again in recent weeks.ꦑ 

With the release of Sky Sports' documentary, Duel: Hamilton vs Verstappen, Wolff made some bold claims.

The Mercedes boss explained his view that a 'bromance' h♑ad emerged between former FIA race director Michael Masi and Red Bull's Jonathan Wheatley. 

“Jonathan Wheatley has done his job,” Wolff said. “He’s turned Michael Masi the race director, not only in Abu Dhabi but before, ౠand probably Max owes h💫im a lot.”

Wolff also said that he has no plans to talk to Masi again after his handling 🍰of the season finale at the Yas Marina Circuit.

“I haven’t spoken to him and I don🦩’t want to speak to him ever again,” Wolꦜff added.

Horner has also been very outspoken, accusing Mercedes of 'bullying' Masi out of his 🍷job.

In an interview with the BBC, “Was it rigඣht to fire him based on pressure that was placed on him from a rival te𝓡am? That for me was wrong,” Horner explained. “That's tantamount to bullying. It's passively aggressive.

“We were on the receiving end of many of Michael's errors. But he is in a high-pressure role in a high-pressure sport. But what it✃ is unforgivable is the trolling, the abuse online, the death threats that he and his family had. That absolutely cannot be condoned in any way.”

Hamilton and Verstappen have moved on from what happened in Abu Dhabi, so is it time for thei🍬r respective team bos🎉ses to do the same?
