Christian Horner has accused rival boss Toto Wolff of making “hugely defamatory, fictitious claims” following allegations that Red Bull exceeded their budget cap in 2021.
Amid revelations in Auto Motor und Sport t hat F1 chiefs are investigating Horner's team for a financial breach, Wolff seemingly revealed on Friday that it was Horner's team in the firing line, sparking off an explosive row that has marred the build-up to the Singapore Grand Prix. And now the English Team Principal has threatened legal action against the Mercedes boss.
Addressing the media on Saturday, Horner insisted he is "absolutely confident" Red Bull did not overspend as Max Verstappen controversially beat Lewis Hamilton to the world championship. The Dutchman could yet retain his title on Sunday, should he win at the Marina Bay Street Circuit and other outcomes go his way.
