FIA Condemns Booing of Verstappen and Horner at F1 Season Launch

The governing body calls for respect after Red Bull figures face jeers from fans 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, attended by over 15,000 people.
The FIA issued a statement criticizing the 'tribalist' behavior and urging fans to maintain a culture of respect in the sport.
Verstappen's controversial 2021 title win and Horner's high-profile role in the Netflix series 'Drive to Survive' have made them polarizing figures among fans.
Verstappen has expressed reluctance to attend future events in England following the incident, with his father calling the booing 'unacceptable.'
The FIA also highlighted its ongoing efforts to combat online abuse in motorsport, noting a rise in misogynistic and racist attacks in the past year.
