FIA speak out after Max Verstappen, Christian Horner boos

An FIA spokesperson said: “Great rivalries througho🐲ut the history of motorsport ha✨ve contributed to making it such an exciting experience for fans.

“But what underpins sport at all levels is a culture of respect. As such, it was disappointing to hear the crowd’s tribalist reaction to FIA Formula One Wor🗹ld Champion Max Verstappen and his Red Bull Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner, at the F1 launch in London.

“Max and Christian have both contributed greatly to ꦉthe sport we love. In the season ahead 𓄧we should not lose sight of that.

“As part of the FIA’s cဣommitment 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 campaign.

“We stand with all of our competitors, o🅰fficials, volunteers, and fans to unite against this gro♛wing threat.

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

According to several reports, it will be discussed at the next World Motor Sport Council꧙ 😼meeting in the coming week.

Red Bull’s dominance over F1 - which started at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Pr♔ix - wa𒀰ned midway through last year.

Verstappen was able to cling on to win a fourth consecutive drivers’ title despite his aggressive driving being widely 𒊎criticised after skirmishes 🅺with Lando Norris.

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

McLaren overtook th🐓em to win the constructors’, and Ferrari also finished ahead of themꦏ.

Red Bul📖l 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 14-1꧃6.
