Christian Horner reacted flustered to Toto Wolff comment

Christian Horner, the boss of Red Bull Racing, was caught off guard during an interview when asked if he thought Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, was good-looking. The two have a long history of rivalry, which has often led to public disagreements. This tension became especially intense during the 2021 season, when Lewis Hamilton was competing against Max Verstappen for the championship. In an interview with content creator Bella James, Horner became flustered when she brought up Wolff's looks. She noted that young girls might be drawn to F1 because of team principals like Wolff. Horner awkwardly replied that he is not part of the "Toto Wolff fan club," signaling his discomfort with the comment. Fans on social media quickly noticed Horner's reaction, as clips of the moment circulated widely. Previously, Horner and Wolff exchanged harsh words after a feud developed between their drivers, Verstappen and George Russell. Wolff called Horner's comments about Russell disrespectful, while Horner defended his driver and cheekily embraced being compared to a "yapping little terrier." During the same interview, James also asked Horner who he thought the best-looking driver in F1 was. Instead of picking one of his own drivers, he mentioned that his daughter would love to see Charles Leclerc join Red Bull, as she thinks he is charming.
