CHRISTIAN HORNER was brutally booed at the F1 75 launch event at the O2 Arena. Fans filled the arena to watch all ten Formula One teams reveal car liveries and driver racesuits for the season. The event saw a number of speeches from team principals as they looked to the season ahead. But when Red Bull boss Horner took to the stage he was greeted by a chorus of boos. Horner, who is married to Spice Girl Geri Horner, is a divisive figure among F1 fans due to his controversial way of handling team issues both internally and with rivals.

The 51-year-old has previously been dubbed a "Karen" due to his incessant complaining against rivals when Red Bull have not been dominant. Meanwhile, his handling of Sergio Perez last year did not win anyone over to his side either. Clips of the crowd reaction were shared on social media, with one fan remarking: "Oh my god the booing for Christian Horner was even worse than they showed on TV.". A second viewer said: "He’s genuinely disliked.".
