Christian Horner wanted to leave a sordid season behind him. Boos mar early days for F1 executive

Any hope Christian Horner had of leaving last year’s sordid season behind him was dashed at Formula 1’s splashy London car launch last month when the Red Bull Racing leader was booed. The latest version of “Drive to Survive” debuted one week before Friday’s season-opening practice and the humiliating position Horner was in just one year ago, when he was under investigation by Red Bull following employee allegations of inappropriate behavior, is only briefly covered. “I just let the process play out.” Turmoil at Red Bull Many wonder what sparked the allegations and whether they were part of a power battle between Horner and Verstappen’s father, Jos, who openly pushed for Horner’s ouster at Red Bull. “We’d all like to see him knocked down.” This isn’t over Horner made an offseason lineup change, replacing Sergio Perez with Liam Lawson as Red Bull tries to reclaim the championship sweep.
