Christian Horner says Wolff should play role of 'pantomime dame'

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has poked fun at Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, saying the Austrian would make a good pantomime villain.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton are engaged in one of F1's all-time great title fights this year. Tensions have been high between both drivers and both teams, with on-track collisions at Silverstone and Monza ramping up the drama.

Wolff and Horner have never seen eye to eye in F1 and this year's title battle seems to have raised tensions between them further.

In a highly-publicised interview with the Daily Mail this week, Wolff said he fears Verstappen and Hamilton's title fight will end with one driver taking out the other to win the championship.
