Christian Horner takes swipe at ‘typical Toto’ as accusations fly over F1 2026 rulesRed Bull boss Christian Horner said it is “typical” of Toto Wolff to focus on “self-gain” after the Mercedes boss claimed there is “zero chance” of an F1 2026 regulations re-write, while also dropping a Red Bull fear suggestion.
F1 2026 will mark the first season of Red Bull Powertrains, alongside Ford, as a Formula 1 power unit manufacturer, but Horner has revealed deep concerns about these new regulations which could create a “technical Frankenstein”. Such comments have not sat well with Horner, who pointed the finger back at Wolff when it comes to selfish motives.
“I think the FIA is being very responsible in terms of doing its due diligence, and I think certain teams share very similar opinions to that of our own. I think they have a capable team, I think they’re aware of what the challenges are.”For Horner, much of his trepidation with these F1 2026 regulations revolves around the impact of this increased electrical power versus the output from the Internal Combustion Engine.
“[We need] to ensure that we’re not creating a technical Frankenstein, which will require the chassis to compensate to such a degree with moveable aero and reduce the drag to such a level that the racing will be affected – and that there will be no tow effect and no DRS because effectively you’re running like that at all points in time.
“You have got to look at the thing holistically from both the technical point of view, and most importantly what is F1.
