🗣️'When you have that sort of success it's quite uncommon to see someone remain so grounded and so humble.' Red Bull F1 drivers past and present have paid tribute to late company founder Dietrich Mateschitz, who passed away on Saturday aged 78 ⬇️
Aside from the four drivers of the Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri teams on the current grid, the Austrian also played a part in furthering the careers of Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon and Sebastian Vettel.
“I think he held himself back a lot, just because of the man he was, and as I said, kind of how humble he was. “In simple terms, I'd never be here without Dietrich,” said the Frenchman, who will join Alpine next season. “He had two F1 teams for over 15 years, and even big brands like Mercedes and Ferrari and didn't commit to F1 like that.Mateschitz's backing helped numerous drivers make it to F1Williams driver Albon stressed how Mateschitz and Red Bull helped many young drivers, and not just those who ultimately made it.
“I remember my first day in an F1 car, he came over and asked me how it was. He was very passionate, very charismatic as well. He will be sorely missed.”
