Tegnap este érkezett a tragikus hír, miszerint 78 évesen elhunyt a Red Bull alapítója és tulajdonosa Dietrich Mateschitz.

Az osztrák üzletember hatalmas birodalmat épített fel, amely nagy hatással volt a modern auto- és motorsport életre, kiemelten a Forma-1-re is.

Nem meglepő tehát, hogy szinte valamennyi szereplő megemlékezett róla a közösségi médiában.

A Forma-1 hivatalos oldala egy felejthetetlen F1-es szereplőként jellemezte őt, aki örökké fennmaradó örökséget hagyott hátra.

We are saddened to hear of the death of Dietrich Mateschitz

The co-founder of Red Bull made an unforgettable contribution to F1, and leaves a lasting legacy

Stefano Domenicalli szavai is olvashatók az F1 hivatalos twitter oldalán, aki egy nagyon szeretett és hatalmas tiszteletnek örvendő, sikeres vállalkozóként írta le őt, és osztozik a család és a vállalat gyászában.

Az FIA elnöke is egy kiemelt motorsportos személyként tekintett az osztrákra, aki rengeteget adott a sportnak, nem csak a két csapat kapcsán, hanem egy nagyon sikeres junior programot hozott létre, amivel rengeteg fiatalnak adott lehetőséget.

Valamennyi csapat is külön-külön részvétét fejezte ki a tragédia miatt és együttéreznek és osztoznak a hozzá közel állók gyászában.

Dietrich Mateschitz was a titan of the business world, but at his heart always and simply a huge race fan. First backed a driver in 89 with countryman Gerhard Berger. Entered as a sponsor in 95. Established 2 teams. Launched countless careers. Changed the sport forever. RIP
