Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner has stated his displeasure at Liberty Media's proposal on changes to motorhomes.

Liberty Media's proposal, which came around from a recommendation by Ross Brawn has not pleased Red Bull Racing's Christian Horner, as Formula 1 try to look for a greener and more environmental future within the sport.

The proposal was brought up a few weeks ago after Ross Brawn had brought forward a new idea to push the teams to give up their impressive-looking motorhomes used in European races, to adopt the same structures they have available for the stages outside Europe.

Formula 1 aims to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint by 2030 thanks to a new set of actions on-site and at teams' factories.

"Ross needs to have a look in his own Concorde Agreement because it doesn’t make any reference to that in their drafts. So I’m not quite sure what he was referring to there," Horner said to F1i.

"But you know, this is very sustainable," as Horner refers to Red Bull's wooden 'Holzhaus'. "It’s all out of wood."
