Asked what Verstappen’s recent title win would have meant to Mateschitz, Horner added: “Well, thankfully he got to see that. That’s what he did here in F1, proving that you can make a difference. What a great man – he’s few of a kind.

TEAM REPRESENTATIVES. Part One: Jost Capito (Williams), Zak Brown (McLaren), Christian Horner (Red Bull). Q: Jost, can we start with you please, ...

FV: Yeah, I think on the report, I think it's a good thing that we'll be able to get the report one week after the race, that it's a good move from the FIA and to have a clearer picture of what's happening in Suzuka – the good and the bad things. But overall, I think that it's good for F1 and it's a mega project, and we will all support the project for sure. I have no idea what it will be, and I'm not the judge, and I don't want to give a penalty, what is right and what is wrong but I think we need to sort this case out, that we are not keeping on talking about it, and in future have a regulation in place. And obviously, Kevin said that as well, that he thinks, but that is what he thinks but in the end I need to look after or we need to look after our team for the future and then we will take the driver we want in the car and we think we can go forward with in developing the team you know. But now with the updates and the fact that the pace was there in Suzuka and Singapore in dry conditions I think that we are able to come back to Q3 and to score good points this weekend. Frédéric VASSEUR: First of all, it's a good return from Theo to say that it was the best hour of his life because I think that we have to keep in mind that they have to enjoy. And I think with this being a new process, what we need to do is come out of the backside of this, and learn from it and see what we need to do – as we need to do with other regulations – modify them from time-to-time. And of course, you know, there are significant challenges within 2022 that when you look at the amount of crash damage some of the teams are having, some of the update levels that are going on, you know, there are precedents that will be set from 2021 will have to apply and with a consistency in 2022. If I look at the quantity of parts that we're bringing, if I look at where we are in the freight, we're probably the sixth or seventh team that brings in terms of freight volumes to a Grand Prix. Is this already the moment that you can conclude that this as a disgrace for the sport or is it too early to say that? CH: The latest on that is that we are in a process with the FIA. But I think we see the growth in the US, we see the excitement that there is.

Halfway through the session and it is Perez from Hamilton, Verstappen and Leclerc. Most drivers who came out on the softs have only run the one set so far, with ...

The Austrian businessman was an enormously influential figure in Formula 1 as well as other sports.

He also owned the German hockey club Red Bull Munchen and owned a NASCAR team from 2007 to 2011, which earned two Cup Series victories with drivers Brian Vickers and Kasey Kahne while also bringing a young AJ Allmendinger to NASCAR. Red Bull would go on to become a world leader in the energy drink market, and the brand would also become heavily ingrained in sponsorship of extreme sports. Mateschitz would go on to partner with the drink's founder, Chaleo Yoovidhya, to form Red Bull in 1984.

The Austrian businessman built a sports empire under the umbrella of the global energy drink.

Red Bull won its first Formula One championship in 2010, thanks to Sebastian Vettel, who went on to win the next three titles as well. Mateschitz founded Red Bull in 1984 with Chaleo Yoovidhya and led the company into motorsports by the mid-1990s. Three years later, Mateschitz bought the Jaguar Racing team, turning it into Red Bull Racing.
