Was thinking the same. We need a "Drive to survive" The OFF season" - maybe with Telenovela actresses and sound effects.. I bet the Horner troubles hurt more than the aero time they lost.

So Red Bull is putting the squeeze on Horner, whose toes did he step on.?
Somebody must know something? |

Christian Horner is accused of " incredibly controlling behavior " . What the heck does that mean ? Apparently he meets with investigators on Friday .

Joe Saward - who knows a thing or 3 about F1, says Horner and Newey have contracts that protect one another, as in if one is let go, the other one "can" go too. Imagine Mercedes/Ferrari's glee (though I bet if he goes he retires). At the very least no more Newey would be a big impact. 2025 is gonna be fun for a last year of the old rules.

I’m betting he’s gone, now if Newey could go to Ferrari in 25 we may have an interesting season. Not saying this one won’t be

Re: Lewis to Ferrari. If Hamilton was whiney and complainy to his Mercedes engineers over in-race strategy decisions, wait 'til he gets a load of how the Boys in Red call races.

[QUOTE=stealthn;12188524]He is accused of sending dick-pics to a female employee…
If that's what he did and can be proven then he is gone . If that happens it will be interesting to see if Newey stays or leaves .

I haven't found any reports of Horner doing anything sexually inappropriate. Where are y'all seeing that?

I saw that that came from Bild, which is a tabloid rag. Official statement is that it's something to do with aggressive and abusive management.

That's in line with what I have read online . If that's the case RB will make him take some HR driven courses , apologize to the woman and be done . He should not be terminated in my opinion . If the FACTS just show he's a pushy boss .

Funny thing about that move to a "dominant team" thing...
Before Ferrari got their scheisse together, Herr Lauda was brought in and got to knocking heads getting things organized, then comes in non-Italian management (Todt, then Brawn) and what do you know, the car works and championships are in reach. Next we see Norbert Haug running the Merc show, and it never quite gets over the plateau. Then Haug is out and Lauda is in (and Brawn is there...) and the car is working and championships are in the offing. Then Lauda dies. Mercedes stops winning championships. Just a little coincidence I noticed when watching some old f1 vids. Last edited by 917_Langheck; 02-07-2024 at 10:02 PM.. |

According to this article sexual misconduct is not the issue/complaint . The complaint is for aggressive management style .
