Racing Bulls' Video Sparks Controversy as Driver Booed by Fans Again.
The junior squad of Red Bull has distanced itself from a video showing one of its staff members appearing to encourage fans to boo Lando Norris during the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. The incident, which saw Norris receive boos following his victories in Mexico City and Interlagos, has sparked debate over the team's values and their relationship with their rivals.
The video surfaced on social media, prompting a statement from Racing Bulls, who claimed it "doesn't reflect our team's values" or the spirit of VCARB. The team believes in celebrating great racing and showing respect to all drivers, teams, and fans.
However, the booing has been less intense in Brazil compared to Mexico, where Norris was noticeably taken aback by his reception. Despite this, Norris has handled the situation with humor, saying that he can't stop laughing when booed. He believes it makes racing more entertaining for him and that fans have the right to express their opinions.
The incident highlights the complexities of Formula 1's title race, which continues to be led by Norris. With three rounds remaining, the Brit is 24 points clear of his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. The Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 21-23 will be a crucial test for both drivers as they vie for the championship.
Racing Bulls' stance on the issue suggests that their relationship with McLaren remains strong, despite the booing incidents. However, the controversy serves as a reminder of the passion and intensity that Formula 1 fans bring to the sport.

racing bulls is trying to play it cool but the video is pretty cringeworthy... like who encourages fans to boo someone? Norris handled it well tho, can't help but laugh when people are booing him 
. i think its all part of the sport's drama and intensity, and racing bulls is right to celebrate great racing regardless of who's winning or losing 
. still gotta wonder if they were trying to stir up some controversy though? either way, this is gonna make for a wild finale in vegas 
u know i was just rewatchin this vid from last year and it still doesnt sit right w/ me... like what kinda sports culture encourages booing over support 
racing should be about respect, not shade 
it's a shame more ppl aren't talkin about the impact of their words/actions on others. Norris handled it well tho, can def relate to laughin' it off when you're gettin roasted 
. Norris handling it with humor is a big plus, but at the same time, I can see why some fans would be booing him - he's been on fire this season! 
. And yeah, I think it shows that both teams are really invested in the championship.
I just wish the Racing Bulls would speak up more about this kind of behavior, maybe remind fans that sportsmanship is key, you know? 
but why is everyone booing him tho? like, can't we all just get along? 
isn't racing supposed to be about having fun?
