Verstappen booed LOUDLY at Silverstone by British fans: sporting banter or harmful distraction?

Whenever Verstappen’s name is mentioned in the fan zone, loud boos erupt immediately, captured clearly on audience footage.

The ‘fans’ present make it unmistakably clear they are not backing the Dutchman throughout the British Grand Prix weekend.

The Red Bull driver will start on pole position after setting an impressive laptime in Saturday's qualifying.

This isn’t the first time—and likely won’t be the last—that such a thing happened. Sport is fueled by emotion, but booing a driver crosses a different line altogether.

It’s not just the British fans, either. Similar booing took place before at the Red Bull Ring, for example.
