You're listening to the Autosport podcast.

Hello everyone. Welcome to Abadami. We've been here today for first practice and second practice.

Yasmarina surf kit,enty of talking points again dominated

by the match Stappan Rao that he had with George Russell. Been rumbling on now feels like eternity,

but for five days, it's still going on. Not the drivers talking this time, but the team bosses.

This was Christian Horner's time to respond.

He spoke to the press comments earlier on and it was obviously a premeditated answer to one

of the questions.

Obviously you'll remember that Toto Wolf referred to him as a yapping terrier on Thursday,

which was in relation to Max and George sort of having a disagreement at the last

race in Qatar. And Christian Horner's responded and said, how do you say, I'd rather be a terrier

than a wolf? Yes. I mean, it was very much how many times did he be looking in the mirror

practicing that line? Got his jokes in about the terriers that he used to own called Bernie

Elston and Flapio Briatore. But yeah, it was interesting. I thought, I thought sort of trying to go

high rather than, rather than sort of low. I think that's been sort of Rebels tactics from what

I understand talking to their communications people. It's just like we don't feel the need to get

involved in that sort of thing. And you know, it's a shame for us because we love a good we love a good story that stirs the pot but yeah i think

sensible in the end sort of cooling of matters but then we just never know if if things are

going to change when the drivers get together on the track but ben you were in the room in the press

conference how did that actually because obviously obviously, Wolf wasn't there.

Horner was talking alongside Bonotto and Stella.

How did it sort of land in the room?
