American Pop Sensation Christina Aguilera Once Got Brutally Trolled for Her F1 Trackside Appearance: “Fakes an Interest In…”

The popularity of F1 has never been doubted. But, ever since Drive to Survive’s premiere, the sport’s popularity has seared through the roof. So now, year after year, multiple celebrities take trips across the globe to witness the most prestigious form of racing. Having said that, there might be a handful of celebrities that might not take a trip to a race ever again.

Why? Well, simply because Formula 1 commentators sometimes do not mince their words. The US Grand Prix is a perfect example of popular figures being roasted by F1 commentators. In the 2022 edition of the US Grand Prix, Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc. got to wave the chequered flag.

“Possibly the worst chequered flag waving in Formula 1 history by the Apple boss Tim Cook. Well, all the wealth in the world, — can’t give you a strong wrist and a nice action,” said Ted Kravitz, the British journalist.

However, such remarks seem to be a common feature in the commentary department of Formula 1. Back in 2018, a friend of Lewis Hamilton made the trip down to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The five-time Grammy award-winning singer got a similar savage reception from David Coulthard.

“And there’s Christina Aguilera, fakes an interest in Formula 1,” said the former racing driver as the singer was capturing the race on her phone.

Did these two popular figures deserve these savage remarks from the commentators? Probably not, but they got them anyway.

The reporters did not face any consequences for their respective sly comments. However, that is not always the case, and Ted Kravitz is proof of that.

Ted Kravitz felt the heat as the entire Red Bull Racing team followed in the footsteps of Max Verstappen in boycotting the channel. Why? Because Kravitz used the term “robbed” to summarize the 2021 F1 championship.

However, the Red Bull and Sky Sports dispute will come to an end at the Brazilian Grand Prix onwards. “There were some derogatory comments made, so we took a break from Sky for this race. We have said our piece and will go back to normal next race,” explained the Red Bull boss, Christian Horner.
