FIA speak out after Max Verstappen, Christian Horner boos

An FIA spokesperson said: “Great rivalries throughout tꦉhe history of motorsport have contributed to making it such an exciting experience for fan🎶s.

“But what underpins sport at all levels is a culture of respect. As suc🐎h, it was disappointing to hear the crowd’s tribalist reaction to FIA Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen and his Red Bull Team Princ🔯ipal and CEO Christian Horner, at the F1 launch in London.

“Max and Christian have both contributed gre🅘atly to the sport we love. In the season ahead we should not lose sight of that.

“As part of the FIA’s commitment to protect the integrity of the sport, we💦 are leading a coalition tackling online abuse in sport under the banner of our United Against Online Abuse camp🧸aign.

“We stand with all 🌟of our competitors, officials, ♏volunteers, and fans to unite against this growing threat.

“We urgeꦺ the sporting community to consider the impact of their actions 🌞both online and offline.”

According to several repor👍ts, it will be discussed at the next World Motor Sport Council meeting in the coming week.

Red Buꦅll’s dominance over F1 - which st🦩arted at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - waned midway through last year.

Verstappen was able to cling on to win a fourth consecutive drivers’ title despi꧃te his aggressive driving being widely criticised🧜 after skirmishes with Lando Norris.

But Red Bull’s F1 car was no ﷽longer the best in the sport.

McLaren overtook the🃏m to win the constr🧜uctors’, and Ferrari also finished ahead of them.

Red Bull hope to provide Verstappen with a car competitive enough to claim a fifth driver’s title in a row in the 2025༒ F1 season, which begins with the Australian Grand Prix on March 14-16.
