Red Bull Racing team boss Christian Horner jokes that celebrities can’t just enter the paddock. The head of the British squad is referring to singer Taylor Swift who has been used as a crowd puller for years. Speaking to ESPN, Horner explains his reasoning: “You may remember when Taylor Swift was used in Austin a few years ago to draw a crowd. Now she’s lucky if she can get a pass! A lot has changed in the last few years.”
