Christian Horner Slammed After Suggesting 'Great-Looking Drivers' Behind F1 Boom

Christian Horner had given an interview yesterday for talkSPORT

The interview was with Laura Woods, where he has suggested that F1 and “Drive to Survive” are attracting a great number of girls and women to the sport because of the good-looking drivers on the grid.

He later back-pedalled a bit, after the female interviewer reminded him that attractive men aren’t the only reason why girls are interested in the sport.

“F1 is bringing in a young generation. It’s bringing in a lot of young girls because of all these great-looking young drivers.” Said Horner

Horner was talking about the Drive To Survive show that provides a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of F1 and the fourth series will be released by Amazon Prime on March 11.

Christian was understandably excited about the new season for Drive to Survive but his comments towards the young girls were definitely misguided.
