Horner: What Mateschitz achieved and did for many people is second to noneFormula 1 and the Championship-leading Red Bull team mourned the death of the energy drink company’s Austrian founder Dietrich Mateschitz on Saturday at the age of 78. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has already won the Drivers’ Title for the second year in a row. “What he (Mateschitz) achieved and what he’s done for so many people around the world, across different sports, is second to none,” said Horner. Mateschitz’s death comes with Red Bull embroiled in a budget breach controversy that has teams up and down pitlane demanding a harsh penalty. Horner said he was happy that at least Mateschitz got to see Verstappen clinch the driver’s title two weeks ago in Japan.

Horner: We’re subjected to three weeks of effective abuse

Horner said Red Bull wanted closure and talks with the FIA had been “healthy and productive”. Horner said he was appalled at the behaviour of competitors and “three weeks of effective abuse” directed at his team over a cap introduced last year to help level the playing field. Red Bull have denied benefiting from an overspend which has been put in media reports at $1.8 million.
