<\/p>\nRed Bull chief Christian Horner has aimed a fresh dig at Sky Sports F1\u2019s Ted Kravitz at the United States Grand Prix. <\/p>\n
The pitlane reporter was at the centre of a huge bust-up with the world champion team a year ago when a throwaway comment saw Red Bull boycott interviews with Sky Sports. During his Notebook show after the 2022 Austin Grand Prix, Kravitz said Lewis Hamilton beating Max Verstappen would have been akin to a \u201cmovie script\u201d having been \u201crobbed\u201d at the season finale in Abu Dhabi last December. <\/p>\n
Verstappen had just won the race after overtaking the Mercedes man with six laps to go. The "robbed" comment was the final straw for Red Bull, who reckoned Sky\u2019s coverage of them had not been impartial, and from Kravitz in particular.<\/p>\n

Red Bull refused to speak to Sky at the following Mexican Grand Prix before the boycott was lifted. Kravitz has since regularly conducted interviews with team personnel, including Horner and Verstappen. But it seems Horner hasn\u2019t forgotten about that spat as he made a crude dig at Kravitz\u2019s expense following the Sprint Shootout, which set the grid for tonight\u2019s Sprint race in Austin.<\/p>\n
During the session, Kravitz reported that Verstappen was driving around a slight car issue. When that was put to Horner by Sky Sports, he replied: \u201cTed\u2019s always talking\u2026 usually not out of his mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presenter Simon Lazenby cut in, saying \u201cunfair\u201d as Horner continued: \u201cThere\u2019s always things electrically you can tidy up. There\u2019s some driverability stuff that Max wants us to tune before the race. [There are no issues] from a reliability point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comment didn\u2019t go down well with some fans, with several demanding an apology from the Red Bull supremo. One said: \u201cHorner needs to apologise to Ted Kravitz. That was a totally unacceptable comment to the world and Max defo said he had an electrical problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cSo Christian Horner basically just said Ted Kravitz talks out of his a***.\u201d A third, a Red Bull fan, added: \u201cChristian Horner calling out Ted Kravitz for talking nonsense. That's my team principal!\u201d<\/p>\n
Verstapppen took pole position for the Sprint with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, the pole-sitter for the main race, joining him on the front row.<\/p>\n
