The Formula 1 world has been rocked to its core after Christian Horner unleashed a furious attack on the FIA, accusing officials of “unfairly targeting Max Verstappen” following the chaos of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. 🚨
Moments after the race’s explosive start, Verstappen collided with Oscar Piastri, triggering a 10-second penalty and two penalty points — a devastating blow that derailed his title defense. Over the radio, Verstappen’s frustration boiled over, sarcastically saying he “deserved an even bigger penalty.” Horner leapt to his driver’s defense, calling the stewards’ decision “utterly ridiculous” — a move that set the paddock ablaze with controversy.
But not everyone agreed. Former driver Martin Brundle hit back, insisting “rules are rules” and stressing the importance of accountability. Critics were quick to label Horner’s stance as hypocritical, recalling his past outrage when Sebastian Vettel lashed out at officials in 2016. The contradiction has left fans and pundits wondering — has pressure finally cracked Red Bull’s iron grip on F1?
And yet, amid the uproar, a new star quietly rose. 🌟
Yuki Tsunoda stunned everyone during post-race testing, completing 127 flawless laps in the Red Bull RB20 — his first true taste of life inside the champion team. His raw pace, precision, and adaptability drew praise from engineers, with many calling it a “career-defining performance.” Tsunoda himself called the RB20 “a natural fit”, though he admitted the chances of a full-time seat remain slim… for now. 👀
Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc topped the timesheets with the fastest lap of the day, and Mercedes’ young prodigy Kimi Antonelli impressed despite pushing through illness — adding another layer of intrigue to an already electrified off-season.
With the dust barely settling in Abu Dhabi, Red Bull faces its biggest storm yet.
Horner’s words could ignite a political war with the FIA, while Verstappen’s growing frustration risks shaking the team’s unity heading into 2025.
The paddock is buzzing. The drama is peaking. And the question on every fan’s mind:
👉 Is Red Bull’s unstoppable empire finally beginning to crumble?
Stay tuned — the truth behind Horner’s shocking statement and Tsunoda’s breakout test could change everything.
