A comment from former F1 team boss Franz Tost has led to Austrian broadcaster ORF issuing an apology.
ORF, the Austrian F1 broadcaster, issued an apology for a comment made towards Gabriel Bortoleto’s family during the Brazilian Grand Prix. The comment was made by former Toro Rosso and AlphaTauri boss Franz Tost, who was a commentator for the race. Tost’s remark came after Bortoleto crashed and the broadcast showed his upset family in the garage. Tost stated that the mothers shouldn’t look “stupid” as it’s normal for a driver to be in the learning phase. ORF has now apologized for the inappropriate statement, acknowledging that the choice of words was unacceptable. They have also promised to take measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
