[Saba Sports News] At the F1 75th Anniversary press conference held in London, when Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and star driver Max Verstappen appeared on stage, they were booed incessantly by spectators, drawing significant attention from external media. Afterwards, Max Verstappen’s father Jose Verstappen expressed strong dissatisfaction on social media, stating that such behavior not only damages Max Verstappen’s personal image but also negatively impacts the entire Red Bull team. He urged fans and media to view drivers and teams more rationally and fairly rather than blindly following trends or venting emotions. This incident also caught the attention of FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile). They subsequently issued a statement saying, “Respect for each other is the foundation of all sports. Hearing fans boo FIA Formula One World Champion Verstappen and his Red Bull team principal Horner at the F1 press conference in London is very disappointing. Both Verstappen and Horner have made significant contributions to our beloved sport, and we should not overlook this in the upcoming season.”
