Christian Horner unhappy that Max Verstappen was booed at F1 curtain-raiser

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner bemoaned the world champion’s treatment at the F175 launch event, adding: ‘The fandom has changed over the last few years’

www.theguardian.com

Seems a growing issue in F1 with warring fans, showing disrespect to the teams and drivers they do not follow. Is it time to start segregating the rival fans at Grand Prix's to prevent further trouble?

Here's a thought Christian & Max. Stop acting like CJTC's and maybe you won't get booed

Not until some start chanting… ”You’re going home in a Monaco ambulance (Mercedes)“.

If you believe the Senna dramatisation on Netflix this has been going around for decades. Apparently English fans made Senna V Brundle like Celtic V Rangers in F3.

It's been around forever, but the recent uptick in really nasty shit is ironically from Max fans, the Dutch GP and Spa are awful for it.
