🗣️ 'It's absolutely ludicrous to be doing the first sprint race of the year in a street race like Azerbaijan' Red Bull boss Christian Horner takes aim at the F1 sprint race at the Azerbaijan GP due to the potential crash damage costs ⬇️
Red Bull boss Christian Horner has slammed the idea of a sprint race at the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix as “absolutely ludicrous” given the potential for crash damage.Baku is the first of six sprint events on the 2023 schedule, and it comes at a time when teams are still building up spares inventories, introducing upgraded parts and in some cases complete new packages that will be in limited supply.
“I think from a spectacle point of view, from a fan point of view, it's probably going to be one of the most exciting sprint races of the year. “I know that the sporting directors have been working hard on that and hopefully we can get that that finalised. A sprint race in Azerbaijan is something to be certainly wary of.”Other team bosses agreed that they have concerns about damage.McLaren
