Christian Horner couldn't suppress his happiness after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Red Bull Racing team boss therefore decided after the race to look for Toto Wolff, reports The Daily Mail. The Austrian, however, was nowhere to be found.
Lewis Hamilton dominated in Abu Dhabi and looked set to take his eighth world title, but nothing was further from the truth. Verstappen was able to get close to his rival due to a safety car, and took the win on fresher tyres.
After Horner's initial celebration, he decided to step up to Wolff to give him a hand. Reportedly, the Briton stormed into Mercedes' motor home causing the staff to look up in surprise. Wolff, however, turned out not to be there, which meant Horner was soon outside again.
Furious Wolff was unhappy with race management
While Horner was full of joy, Wolff was a different story. The Austrian team boss was of the opinion that the race direction was responsible for Hamilton missing out on the world title. In hindsight, it therefore seems only right that both men only met up later in the evening.
