“I think we shouldn’t be seeing any booing in any sports. I think that’s unsportsmanlike. It’s clear that we love the support the drivers have here and the team, that’s fantastic, and the enthusiasm,” said Toto Wolff, the team principal of Mercedes.
“But if you’re not into the other guys just remain silent. I think that would be a good way. None of the drivers deserves any booing – whatever happened last year, whatever the competition is,” added the Austrian team principal.
Christian Horner, the team principal of Red Bull Racing mentioned how he had enough of these disgruntled British supporters. “It’s disappointing to hear the boos but that’s the way it is,” mentioned Horner. He refrained from elaborating on this issue.
