Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has defended his team against accusations of making Formula 1 boring, despite Lando Norris’s concerns about a lack of competition.
Norris, who finished second to Max Verstappen in Shanghai, expressed fears that Verstappen’s dominance could be turning off fans. However, Horner believes that Verstappen’s success should be appreciated as a ‘golden moment’ in F1 history.
Verstappen has won four of the five Grands Prix held so far this year and has a vice-like grip on the sport, with 21 victories from the last 23 races. Norris acknowledged that it can be frustrating for fans, but believes that rule changes to curb Red Bull’s advantage are out of the question. He emphasized the importance of different teams having their own unique approaches to make F1 special.
