Max Verstappen has enjoyed a highly dominant 12 months in Formula 1, but has denied suggestions he is behind dwindling ticket sales ahead of the British Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen has responded to the suggestion that he is causing a decrease in ticket sales for the British Grand Prix by stating that he does not believe it is his fault. Last year, the Silverstone circuit had a record 480,000 attendees, but this number is expected to drop this year due to fewer tickets being available. Silverstone has not experienced the usual fast sell-out this season, with tickets still available two weeks before the event. Managing director Stuart Pringle suggested that Verstappen and Red Bull’s dominance may be contributing to the ticket sales issue, but Verstappen has pointed out that the current F1 season is very exciting with multiple teams challenging for victories. He emphasized that promoters should look at their own strategies before blaming others for low ticket sales.
