Red Bull’s Max Verstappen said that commenting on boos he received during the F1 75 launch event are “not worth my time”.
Verstappen was introduced by F1 75 host Jack Whitehall at London’s O2 Arena to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos from fans in the capacity crowd. Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner faced boos on stage, condemned by the FIA as “tribalist” behavior. Verstappen’s father, Jos, threatened future launch event boycotts in England due to the negativity. Despite the reaction, Verstappen remained unfazed, sarcastically questioning if there was any booing during F1 testing in Bahrain. Horner and McLaren CEO Brown accepted boos as standard fan behavior, unlike Williams and Mercedes team bosses who felt it had no place at the event. Overall, the F1 75 event was praised by Wolff and Vowles, though they disapproved of the booing directed at Horner.
