Max Verstappen is said to be considering a boycott of future launch events following the Dutchman's hostile treatment in London.

The Red Bull ace was booed by the crowd as he appeared on screens at the event earlier this week.

On top of that, Christian Horner was also greeted by jeers when he arrived up on stage.

Reacting to the incident, Max's father, Jos told RaceXpress: “Max has no appetite for that, to be booed like that in front of 25,000 people.

“He also says: ‘If this is in England next year, they definitely won’t see me.’

“I couldn’t agree more with him. You’re there to promote the sport and showcase the new colour schemes of the cars, but when they go on a rampage like that, the question is: what are you there to do?

“He has to get ready to go there anyway, but then you get booed like that.

“I think they should take a hard look at that because that doesn’t belong in this sport."

He continued: “That Christian Horner was booed like that and Max was booed too.

“You do it for Formula 1, you are there to promote the sport and then you are booed by the public.

“I don’t think that’s acceptable.

“I get it because Max is the only one who fires up those Englishmen and says exactly where it’s at.

“But I don’t think this is acceptable. It really is a disappointment what happened there.”
