Ted Kravitz was brutally attacked by Christian Horner as the Sky Sports presenter was forced to intervene

Christian Horner took no prisoners in the paddock after a sprint shootout in Austin, shooting Ted Kravitz dead.

Christian Horner savagely attacked Sky Sports journalist Ted Kravitz during the broadcast of the Texas sprint shootout on Saturday, questioning the accuracy of his claims about driver Max Verstappen by Red Bull.

The pit lane reporter commented on a potential problem Verstappen was experiencing in the sprint shoot-out, prompting the Sky Sports F1 team to question Horner about the existence of a problem in the garage 33 of the race.
Speaking in response to the question, Horner retorted:

“Ted always talks… often without the words coming out of his mouth.” This reaction caused Simon Lazenby to intervene, calling the Red Bull team principal’s accusations “unfair”.
Horner then clarified his answer by saying:

“There are always things related to electricity that you can put away. There were some handling elements that Max wanted us to fine-tune before the race.
[No problem] from a reliability standpoint.

Despite reports of trouble, nothing will stop Verstappen from avenging Friday’s qualifying crash and claiming P1 victory in the sprint shootout. The reigning world champion overtook rivals Charles
Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris to take first place, with the four drivers separated by just one-tenth of a second.

It would be redemption for Verstappen, who would have claimed pole position for Friday’s United States Grand Prix had he not breached track limits on the final flying lap of Q3. Instead, the Dutchman will have to fight from sixth position on the grid if he wants to make it three wins in a row.

“We were quite competitive,” Verstappen said after taking pole in the sprint. “The last lap wasn’t particularly great but we’re still on pole, which means the car is running pretty well. It’s going to be an interesting afternoon.

You can see a lot of different cars in very close together so you don’t ‘I don’t know what will happen in the Sprint race. It will all just be a question mark [about what will happen in the sprint race]. Overall, normally in racing, we’re pretty good. However, this part is still quite demanding.

“Tire management is always important here. There’s quite a bit of wear and tear from high-speed cornering, then you have to manage at low speeds where you need traction. It’s going to be difficult .”
