Sir Lewis Hamilton was knighted a couple of years ago. The 7X champion has brought laurels to the UK with all that he has done on and off the track. While Hamilton is the one that has a special place in the heart of the British, Red Bull and Max Verstappen‘s dominance in 2023 just cannot be ignored. As Verstappen took over the British hearts, the UK Parliament bowed down to Red Bull. But how? And what was said in the Parliament?

Red Bull’s 2023 campaign was nothing short of a dream. Winning 21 out of the 22 races is just something that’s never heard of before. And with Max Verstappen winning 19 races and breaking multiple records on his way while doing so. One can only be in awe and commend what the Milton Keynes-based team achieved this season. And the UK Parliament did acknowledge and congratulate Red Bull on the same. 

Local MP, Greg Smith, speaking in the UK Parliament’s House of Commons congratulated Red Bull on their flawless 2023 season. Smith said, “Sometimes, there is a sporting achievement that simply cannot go without comment. Over the last year, Red Bull Racing smashed through every record in the Formula 1 season winning 21 of the 22 races. And that Magic can only happen on track because of the incredible British business based up the road from my constituency in Milton Keynes of innovation excellence, skills, and engineering superiority. So will my RT Hon Friend join me in congratulating Christian Horner and the whole Red Bull team in their success this year”
