FIA Condemns Booing of Verstappen and Horner at F1 Season Launch

The governing body calls for respect in Formula 1 after Red Bull figures face jeers during the sport's 75th anniversary event in London.

Max Verstappen and Christian Horner were booed by fans at the F1 75 Live event in London's O2 Arena, which drew over 15,000 attendees.
The FIA released a statement criticizing the 'tribalist' behavior and emphasizing the importance of respect in sports.
Verstappen's controversial 2021 championship and Horner's role in the Netflix series 'Drive to Survive' are believed to have contributed to the negative reception.
Verstappen has expressed reluctance to attend future events in England, with his father calling the booing 'unacceptable.'
The FIA highlighted its ongoing efforts to combat online and offline abuse through initiatives like the United Against Online Abuse campaign.
