Christian Horner and Toto Wolff lock horns in a dramatic X-rated argument on Netflix’s new season of Drive to Survive. Horner and Wolff are involved in the heated debate which sees both sides hurling fiery insults at each other in a team principal meeting.
The fight was filmed in Montreal, just a week after Lewis Hamilton suffered extreme back pain due to porpoising at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Wolff begins in a hostile mood as he vents his frustration at bosses for not accepting his push for rule updates.
He said: “I hear lots of chit-chat talking about porpoising, The Chinese whispers through the press. Little emails being sent. I can tell you that all of you are playing a dangerous game. If a car ends in the wall because it’s too stiff or it’s bottoming out you are in the s*** and I am going to come after all.”
Ex-Ferrari principal Mattia Binotto quickly interrupts, saying: “Toto Toto.” Wolff interjects: “Wait a second I’m talking.”

Wolff hits back: “Then change your car because Checo [Sergio Perez] has been saying the car is f***ed. Checo has been on the record.” Horner refuses to accept the claims, threatening to get Max Verstappen and Perez in the debate.
He commented: “Speak to my drivers. Let’s go and get them.” Details of the fight had already been leaked by inside sources who revealed Wolff “lost his s***” at his rivals.
A witness explained the tension was on a “different scale” to the pair’s previous press conference debates. The FIA eventually sided with Wolff and issued a technical directive to tackle porpoising for the Belgian Grand Prix.
Cars will also be required to increase their heights by 15mm in 2023 due to the issues last year.
