The reported tense exchange between Toto Wolff and Christian Horner in Canada is claimed to have been captured by the Netflix cameras.
在th周围跳跃的辩论愈演愈烈e Canadian Grand Prix following atechnical directive released by the FIA, setting out their intentions to monitor this bouncing phenomenon and ensure that cars were running in a safe setup.
Several drivers had called for FIA intervention after suffering badly with bouncing at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
It is safe to say that inCanada, Wolff was the harshest in his words relating to his fellow team bosses, calling them out for, to his mind, playing “political games”.
There had been抗议演讲据报道，有多个团队怀疑梅赛德斯在签发技术指令后几天就在蒙特利尔推出了新的楼层。
“This is a sport where you’re trying to keep a competitive advantage or gain it, but this situation has clearly gone too far,” Wolff fumed as he spoke toMotorsport.com.
“All drivers, at least one in every team, have said that they were in pain after Baku, that they had difficulty in keeping the car on track or blurred vision.
“团队校长试图操纵所说的话，以保持竞争优势，并在国际汽联试图提出快速解决方案时试图玩政治游戏，至少使汽车处于更好的位置，这是不明智的。这就是我说的。
“I’m not only talking about the Mercedes: all of the cars suffered in some way or other in Baku, and still do it here. The cars are too stiff. The cars bounce or whatever you want to call it.
“We have long term effects that we can’t even judge. But at any time this is a safety risk, and then coming up with little manipulations in the background, or Chinese whispers, or briefing the drivers, is just pitiful.”
These comments came after a meeting of the team bosses in Canada where Wolff and Horner were said to have clashed, and it is now being widely reported that the Netflix cameras were there to soak it all up.
#AMuSIn yesterday's team boss meeting Domenicali, things are said to have got heated. Mattia Binotto pointed out that a rule change as big as the TD on bouncing would have to be approved by the FIA World Council. Toto Wolff is said to have reacted angrily to this.

#AMuSAccording to eyewitnesses, the Toto Wolff loudly addressed all his colleagues and accused them of irresponsible behaviour. At some point there will be a serious accident, Toto is reported to have said.

#AMuSThe outburst was filmed by a Netflix team making behind-the-scenes footage for "Drive to Survive".
Christian Horner is therefore said to have mockingly asked Wolff if his tantrum was just for the cameras.

So, we should all see exactly what went down after all, as long as Netflix decide that it makes the cut for their new season of Drive to Survive.
The documentary series, which offers a behind-the-scenes view of Formula 1 beyond what the TV cameras show, has drawn mixed reviews in the paddock since the first season aired back in 2019.
