You have essentially a team sport (yes, there’s also the individual component), of course fans are going to be “tribalistic” about their teams. And as any sports fan knows, the team that’s been dominant for a long period of time tends to be polarising, you’re either with them or against them (especially when that period of dominance started with controversy).

Doesn’t mean it’s a good look for boos at a formal function as opposed to race day, but can’t say this is a surprise.
