The two egocentric team bosses contribute to the entire Formula 1 Zoff: Toto Wolff (51) and Christian Horner (47). In short: the two can’t stand each other! They only agree when it comes to Ferrari!
Hot duels soon?
Unfortunately, Hamilton’s tough duels against Verstappen were a thing of the past. The Dutchman has to be taken into account with twelve victories this season. And with last year’s 15, he has already celebrated 27 victories in 20 months.
That drives the competition against the wall. And a line on Sky TV from Britain’s Lewis Hamilton is now causing a mini whirl: “I had better team mates than Max. I still had to fight for my wins!” It is clear from his new contract that the old duels have to go back.

Verstappen remained calm, that used to be different: “Jealousy probably plays a role there.” And Wolff said, “Our situation was definitely different because we had real battles on the team.”
So let’s take a look at the list of teammates of the two Superstars. While Hamilton had six partners who won all races (including Kovalinen 2008 in Hungary), seven drivers drove alongside Verstappen (initially also at Toro Rosso). Kvyat, Vergne and Albon were left without a win.
Hamilton had to fight
Hamilton: “With Alonso, Button and Rosberg I even had three world champions in my team.” And with Bottas, Lewis drove the most races (100). Now the 103-time GP winner and current fourth in the World Championships must face one of the greatest talents, George Russell (2022 victory in Brazil).
Red Bull is chasing Norris!
Verstappen usually had it easy against GP winners Sainz, Ricciardo, Gasly and now Pérez. Horner knows why: “Because Max is unique and already one of the greatest.” With a contract until the end of 2028.
And Red Bull would like competition to enter the house. That is why feelers have been put out at Lando Norris (McLaren-Mercedes). A contract until 2025 prevents a quick switch to Red Bull.
