The tension is rising between Christian Horner and Toto Wolff as the battle over Formula 1's 2026 engine regulations hits a boiling point. With Red Bull pushing for changes to battery-engine output ratios and Mercedes determined to keep the 2026 rules unchanged, the political power play is in full swing. This video breaks down the heated debate, the behind-the-scenes strategies, and the real reason Red Bull might be pushing so hard for a rules rethink — is it about protecting the sport, or masking potential power unit problems with Ford?

From Ferrari's strategic silence to Audi and Honda backing the current plans, and Mercedes gaining major leverage through its three customer teams such as McLaren and Williams and Alpine next year replacing Aston Martin, this saga is a masterclass in F1 politics. If you've ever wondered how much influence team bosses really have, or how far they'll go to protect their interests, this is the must-watch analysis. Plus, we take a closer look at whether Red Bull’s new power unit project is genuinely at risk — and what it could mean for Max Verstappen’s future.
