Max Verstappen Unleashes Fury on British GP Promoter!

Max Verstappen Unleashes Fury on British GP Promoter!
Verstappen has unleashed his anger on the British Grand Prix promoter! He’s not holding back on his criticism. Fans are buzzing about his fiery comments. What exactly is going on? Watch this video till the end to know what got Max Verstappen so fired up.
Just two weeks left until the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, tickets are still available. This is a change from the usual early sell-outs seen in recent years.
Max Verstappen has responded to the slow ticket sales by saying that the promoters need to "look at themselves" rather than blaming Red Bull for the situation. Verstappen, who won last year's British GP and 19 out of 22 races in 2023, defended his team against these claims.

Jenny, not even if I got the best seats for free would I go. Getting gouged at the track is just the start! For me, and that's my problem, would be the airfare from the US. Then comes getting screwed by the super high price the rooms would be in a place that's not 100 mile from the event. Just as bad, I'm sure, would be the overpriced food and drinks. All this to be at a race you get to see very little of and have to deal with all the lines and people at every turn. No thanks, I'll stay home eat my own food and drink and get to watch ALL of the race.

[@mspupcat53]

Max Verstappen gets the blame for everything including being a real racing driver who is willing to fight for a position just like Ayrton Senna did. He was not 100% to blame for last weeks collision some of it was Lando's inexperience for challenging for the lead and the DRS. A lot of people in the sport have said it was a racing incident yet the FIA bowed to pressure to give him penalty points on his licence. If you applied the same rules back in the 80s to the farce we have today most drivers would have lost their licenses by the middle of the season I only really got back into it when I started watching Max as he reminded me of my past heroes. I think some older fans who made the trek to Silverstone are also no longer interested in forking out the cash because so much of the spectacle has been taken out. When drivers do take risks they get punished.

@@davelee1866 All the general admission was sold out immediately. Travel, regular single queen hotel room, 3 day ticket in the cheapest seat was almost 5,000.00 USD. Expect to bring family of 4? 20,000.00 USD. Any sort of splurge for hospitality or club seating was an additional 5-15,000 USD. In contrast, I traveled with 3 kids to a NASCAR race for 3 days. 1/4 the cost. August Indy car race in Local City is only 160 USD for a 3 day ticket with Paddock access. Neither of those are F1 obviously, but they are light years apart as far as cost compared to F1. Yet, are still top level motor sport in the US.
