Horner has rubbished Wolff's suggestion that he is complaining about 2026 F1 rules because he is worried about the progress of Red Bull's new engine project
Wolff said: “I think what frightens him more maybe is that his engine programme is not coming along, and then maybe he wants to kill it [the rules] that way. Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing RB19, Charles Leclerc, Ferrari SF-23, Carlos Sainz, Ferrari SF-23, the rest of the fieldBut Horner is far from impressed by what Wolff says, and has made it clear that his priority is in ensuring that F1 does not get things wrong as it finalises the 2026 rules package.
“It is still way too early to say who's going to have a competitive or uncompetitive engine in 2026. For me, the most important thing is, from a sports point of view, that we all have a collective responsibility to work with the FIA and the commercial rights holder, to ensure that the product is as good as it can be. Otherwise, we've all failed.”
However, the FIA is confident that the work it is doing on developing active aero to reduce drag on straights will ensure there are no such issues when the cars appear for real. “The regulations are a hybrid of what was originally intended,” added Horner. “Of course, it's only as you work through a set of regulations that you find out where their limitations are.
