Christian Horner suggested Red Bull's rivals couldn't resist "sharpening their knives" over controversy in 2022 because they were annoyed that the team was dominating the championship.
Red Bull made headlines throughout the campaign, for reasons both good and bad. Their on-track success was admirable, especially as Max Verstappen toppled a swathe of records on the way to his second drivers' title, while the team finally ended Mercedes' long run of constructors' championship successes.
But there were also some not-so positive reasons why people were talking about Red Bull. The main one was the cost cap breach from the previous season, though Verstappen's refusal of orders to help team-mate Sergio Perez in Brazil also caused a stir.
