In an interview with the Daily Mail in the build up to this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix, Wolff predicted a further clash between F1 title rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, saying “whoeve🐟r is in front is absolutely going to try to do the same as in the Senna-Prost years”.&n♚bsp;

Wolff also appear🍸ed to indicate that he felt Verstappen had purposely hit Hamilton in their second collision of the season at Monza, which followed a dramatic coming together at Silverstone earlier in the year. 

“I was disappointed to reaܫd the comments that that was being condoned,” Horner said on Friday when asked about Wolff’s comments. 

"I thin𓃲k we want a really fair fight between now 🙈and the end of the championship, and I think any driver would want to win the championship on track. 

"We'r🎶e a team of racers. If we can pull off this feat, and it's a massive, massive task, then we wouldn't want to win a 💦championship through a collision between the drivers. There's been enough of those this year already.

"I thi🏅nk what we saw in Austin was a great fight between two drivers very much at the top of their game. [With] a few more races like Austin between now and the end of🥂 the year, I think the biggest winner would be Formula 1.

"Nobody wants to see a champion𝔍ship decided in a grave﷽l trap.”

Verstappen heads into this weekend’s race in Mexico City ꩵholding a 12-point advantage over Hamilton, having incr🔯eased his points lead with his eighth victory of the season in the United States last time out. 

"It's been so tight between the two drivers to-ing and fro-ing, pretty much from that first race in Bahrain, and I think that it's been an intense batt🗹le between the two of them," Horner added. 

"The way that Max has handled that has been totally commendable. It's his first time in this situation in For🍸mula 1, but I think he's justඣ sticking to his principles, the way he races, the way he drives.

"He's got the five or six seasons behind him now of exp💜erience which he's using to great effect."
