At the public presentation held at London's O2 Arena, not everyone was genuinely pleased with Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing. Perhaps understandably, this doesn't please the four-time world champion, who could boycott similar events in the future...
From early on, you could see on Verstappen's face that he wasn't in the mood for the London circus, and Jos Verstappen also revealed that his son was overwhelmed by the crowd's reaction:
“I myself would describe what happened to Red Bull Racing as shameful. This event is about promoting Formula 1, and they boo one of the sport's greatest champions... Max told me he doesn't want to experience this again, and if there's an event in the future—if it's in England—he'll definitely avoid it. I have to agree with him. He does everything for the sport; he was there to serve the spectators and, of course, to show off the car's paint job. But when you're faced with such circumstances, it begs the question: What the hell did I come here for? And that this was the last time.” His son, Verstappen's father, conveyed his dissatisfaction.
