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.

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.

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 pic.twitter.com/d0WV7wJPKv

Very sad to hear about the passing of Dietrich Mateschitz.
A huge supporter and investor in the world of motorsport but always in a quiet and understated manner, away from the limelight.
My condolences to the Mateschitz family and everyone at Red Bull.
