Overview
- A widely shared video from São Paulo showed a Racing Bulls employee giving a thumbs‑down toward the crowd during boos for Norris before a colleague pulled the person back.
- Racing Bulls said the behavior did not reflect its values and confirmed the matter was addressed internally without disclosing disciplinary details.
- Norris was booed after wins in Mexico City and Brazil, which commentators link to perceptions of McLaren favoritism following team orders at Monza.
- Sergio Perez urged fans to remain respectful to race winners, telling Reuters that booing the victor is not nice and that passion should be shown with respect.
- Norris has brushed off the reactions, saying he focuses on his work and handles criticism better, and he leads Oscar Piastri by 24 points after Interlagos.
