Quote from the link: " After Lewis Hamilton (39)'s move to Ferrari at the end of the year was announced last week, competitor Red Bull is now dominating the headlines. More precisely, team boss Christian Horner (50)! Internal investigations were launched against the Brit - because Horner allegedly sent photos to an employee. The Austrian racing team is talking about “cross-border behavior”." Looks a bit like auto translation but you get the drift of the alleged allegation.
From BBC Sport... https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/68205305 And from 1 News, here in NZ... https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/02/06/...1s-christian-horner-after-alleged-misconduct/
Couple of new rules announced. DRS moving to being activated after 1 racing lap Sprint weekends moving to Fri: FP, SQ. Sat: SR, Q. Sun: GP. It’s hard to know how/if you can fix sprint weekends, but I suspect this isn’t the way. DRS changes is just winding up the “For the show” element, but at least it’s not mandatory cautions.
Would certainly be odd to see an F1 TP in trouble for aggressive management. Steiner became a netflix celebrity thanks to his yelling constantly. Red Bull themselves have tolerated Marko being an arsehole for decades. Unless Horner truly went too far and said something sick, I'd assume this is an internal power play
Beginning to feel like a storm in teacup. I think the desire to resolve it within a week suggests it can't be that bad. Much as I dislike Horner I don't see this being significant.
It seems like he is still working at RB so unless the other party has left the company it would suggest that if there is an offence, it's not mega serious. i.e. he isn't being accused of anything illegal.
Seems a hearing is set for Friday. Way too much ambiguity in the wording and rumors to take anything from it, but it would be big news if he winds up getting the chop.
nobody would weep to see the back of corner just as nobody wepts for wolff having to suffer alongside his headphones being broken time and again. generally thr person winning you want to see gone but the person struggling you want to see keep right on struggling.
He's been there since Red Bull started, which then begs the question of what happens if he goes. Is he simply replaced? Do other key figures go if somebody is brought in from outside? It could bring about changes at RBR. I certainly wouldn't weep, but I am curious about what could come about if he is let go.
I'm sure he is over powerful there. I'm sure newey would be asked and would turn it down. you would want to be looking at the other types but a lot if the teams even merc seem to make that error of going for the guys whos technical and not necessarily the big leader
In my opinion he won't go anywhere even if he has been wrong in his behaviour. I am not getting too excited about this. I don't know what happened but a caution might be appropriate and a settlement for the employee concerned. I think we are not going to see any earth tremors. He has, after all said and done, been instrumental in RBRs success.
There really is no telling until it comes and goes. There's all kinds of theories flying around out there and none of them make a whole lot of sense. It's a weird one for sure.
Current rumors include Jos Verstappen could be behind all this. Him and Helmut in some kind of power grab? Who bloody knows!
Another rumour is that both Horner and Adrian have clauses in their contract that if one leaves the other can!!! So if that's true and If Horner goes Adrian could leave and join Ferrari!!!! Does make you wonder if Lewis knew that Adrian would/might be joining Ferrari!
