Max Verstappen was targeted by a group of disgruntled Formula 1 fans in Texas over the accusations that Red Bull overspent during the 2021 campaign.
Red Bull have denied the FIA's claim that they broke cost cap rules last season. But with no details of their financial submission having been made public almost two weeks on from that initial accusation, F1 fans remain in the dark about the finer points of the situation.
That hasn't stopped some from making their minds up about it, though. Many fans online have taken the accusation of an overspend to mean Red Bull gained an unfair advantage over their rivals both last season and in the current campaign.
