or in other words, Mateschitz was far right himself. But he is dead now anyway, and I also don't think it's the main reason people oppose Red Bull. The criticism is usually more about the loss of sporting spirit etc, which came with their investmests
A bunch of
very butthurt Ferrari, Mercedes & McLaren fans in F1 always hated Red Bull.
Particularly Ferrari though. Quite a few 'old institutions' & their supporters become angsty when
new money enters a particular sport & does better than them.
Such whinging about Red Bull is all entirely outrageous though considering the prominence of foreign oil money now in pro-sports. Red Bull meanwhile is Austrian, successful & now they're putting money into cycling.
After the whole Visma-Soudal debacle & Plugge's complaints about the unsustainability of the cycling economy, Red Bull entering the sport like this through the front door as actual majority holders of a world tour team is pretty interesting news (i.e. they're not just sponsoring, they're getting
ownership).
