F1 Fantasy Fights: Should Horner be afraid of the Big Bad Wolff?
Planet Sport looks at some of the biggest rivalries in the sport, including the heated rivalry between Toto Wolff and Christian Horner.
The same cannot be said about Wolff and Horner, though. A war-of-words has broken out between the two chiefs and Hamilton feels 'we should get them in the ring'.
Wolff vs Horner
Wolff is yet to lose a World Drivers' Championship or a Constructors Championship which, we guess, makes him the Floyd Mayweather of the sport.
VERDICT: Wolff to win by KO
Hamilton vs Bottas
It is no secret who the top dog is here. Hamilton has won six of his seven world titles at Mercedes and holds more race wins than Michael Schumacher overall. The Brit is in an unusual position of not being the favourite to add another world title this year, but at odds of around 11/4 there may have never been a better time to back him.
VERDICT: Hamilton to win on points
Verstappen vs Ocon
The rivalry stretches back to 2014 when Esteban Ocon beat Verstappen to the European Formula 3 title. In 2018, the feud was reignited when Verstappen - leading the Brazilian Grand Prix - collided with Ocon on lap 44.
VERDICT: Ocon to win by TKO
Norris vs Russell
Norris has the edge in terms of experience with 47 race starts at McLaren compared to Russell's 26 under Williams.
While Russell has not reached the dizzy heights of Norris this year, he did stand in for Hamilton at the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix. Having qualified in second position for the race, a mechanical error and a slow puncture saw him finish ninth.
VERDICT: A draw
Schumacher vs Mazepin
Two team-mates looking to make a statement of intent to prove their worth on the circuit. One is a second-generation racer while the other is the son of a multi-millionaire businessman.
The underwhelming performances have created tension between the two and they were forced to 'clear the air' after Mazepin tried to 'kill' Schumacher on the last lap of the Azerbaijan race.
Continuing the legacy of Michael Schumacher will have added extra pressure for Mick, just like it does for Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn in the ring. Their respective fathers are two-division world champions Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn.
