In the duel for the title between Mercedes in Red Bullom and consequently between Lewis Hamilton against Max Verstappn sparks are still being lit off the race track. Finally, both team bosses did not skimp on criticism at the expense of direct competitors, and the target of their criticism is always FIE Commissioners.
Christian horner, team boss Red Bull, even received an official warning for his statements. His colleague from McLaren, Andreas Seidl, made it clear that he would never allow his critique team to use such vocabulary as he Horner used last weekend in Qatar.
At the same time, too Seidl Recognizes that the controversies taking place outside the racetrack are an important part of the appeal of Formula 1, but there are limits to express disagreement with the decisions of Commissioners or competitors.
"If you look at everything that's going on right now, it's clear there's a lot at stake," he said. says the team boss McLaren. "It's different from the fights we fight in the background, and of course it's kind of good for the fans, because it creates a show, which is right, because in the end, Formula 1 should also be fun."
"But I think some of the comments we've heard in recent weeks are certainly not something we would use if we were in that situation," he says Seidl. At least minimal respect is essential.
