Christian Horner’s war of words with Toto Wolff has intensified after the Redღ Bull boss claimed they have poached 200 employees forꦿ their engine department.

Since their teams went head-to-head for the 2021 F1 world championship💫, Horner a𝄹nd Wolff have been arch rivals, often exchanging words in the media.

Despit꧃e their contrasting on-track fortunes, their rivalry has been renewed.

Wolff has been public in his admiration for Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen - and the prospect of potentially signing him for 2025🎀.

This has irked Horner, with the 5♏1-year-old biting back after the race in China.

Things hav♑e heated up between the two team boss🔴es, particularly as McLaren CEO Zak Brown suggested in Miami that Red Bull are set to lose even more staff following Adrian Newey’s departure.

Horner has taken another swipe at Wolff and Mercedes with a remarkable claim that his team has poached 200 staff from Brixworth for 🉐Red Bull Powertrains - their new engine proj♒ect for 2026.

"T𓃲he two candidates involved talk a lot. I'm not going to get sucked in for a tit for tat. I would be more focused on Toto's own issues that he has. I don't have any concern with the st𒊎rength and depth [of Red Bull]," he said.

"Of course there is always going to be movement between teams. I ဣdon't know how many people we have employed by McLaren this year? Mercedes, we have taken 220 people. 220 out꧙ of HPP into Red Bull powertrains.

"So when we are talking about losing people, I would be more worried than about the 2ꦕꦚ20 people, than one or two CVs."

Red Bull could lose another of their star assets ✤with sporting director Jonathan Wheatley reporte🌠dly considering his future.

Wheatley has hopes to be💧come an F1 team principal, and with Horner firm in his position, he might have to look elsewhere.

Addressing the Wheatley rumours, Horner added: "There are rumours about everybody. Contracts between individuals and their terms and 🥃conditions is not something that we really talk through [with] the public."
