Christian Horner has explained some of the reasons why he thinks Red Bull is “unpopular” in F1, and in particular in the United Kingdom.
According to Christian Horner, part of the reason for Red Bull’s unpopularity in F1 stems from their recent success and victories over British drivers, despite being located in the UK. Since their entrance into the F1 scene in 2005, the team’s consistent winning streak has contributed to this negative sentiment. Horner has noticed a shift in the F1 landscape over the years and has defended Red Bull against online critics, a trend that has escalated with the rise of social media platforms. The team’s unfavorable reception extends beyond online platforms, as witnessed during events like the F175 season launch in London, where Horner was met with boos despite being British himself. Despite the backlash, Horner remains steadfast in his approach and dedication to the sport, even if it garners criticism from competitors, the press, and fans. He acknowledges that achieving success in F1 inevitably comes with its detractors, but he remains focused on delivering 100% effort and performance on the track.
