    Yes, Saudi is on a Saturday because of Ramadan, so they moved Bahrain to Saturday to maintain the week-long gap between the two.

    Well it's pretty telling that this was coming out in the Dutch press, so somebody was feeding them it. If their allegations were false, then they may want to lawyer up pretty well.

    Horner has deep pockets so someone is getting sued. the dutch press is 100% going to have to pay.

    Crikey.

    The fact that Brown and Wolff won’t let this go either does raise questions

    What was the tweet? It's been deleted. I'm guessing Horner related.

    Crikey. IF- and obviously only the people in the process know- this is real then it’s not good is it.

    Only had a brief scan- but enough cringe from that alone!

    However let’s await to see whether this was genuine or not.

    Somebody is going to great lengths to get this out there. I would assume that if this is all genuine that it came from somebody within Red Bull. It went to a lot of journalists and prominent people within F1, so that's somebody there looking for blood. The timings of it being right after the verdict is telling too. Somebody somewhere had this ready to unleash.

    It doesn't look great for Horner. Again, assuming this is legit.

    If this is real, seems like an exchange between 2 adults. Another marriage damaged. Won't be the first or last fling for either of them. Not sure it has much to do with the sport really.
    Embarrassing, didn't read it all as it felt wrong to do so.

    Just read some of it .

    IF this is real , it’s just a bit of titillation between 2 consenting adults as far as I can tell .

    It’s none of anyone’s business bar the 2 people , their families & the team ( if the team think it impacts on them ) .

    If someone is so desperate to get rid of Horner , and this is all they have , then it’s a pretty crap effort .

    I would disagree.

    Horner gets told to stop multiple times and keeps going. Then turns manipulative with a "woes me" act to guilt her into deleting the evidence. Pretty surprised if a an independent investigation actually deemed that to be an appropriate way to behave towards an employee.

    Maybe it is my generation. In the workplace I have had women brush themselves up against me, touch me inappropriately and other things. I was married at the time and just ignored it. The workplace is somewhere where you get to spend time in others company, attractions are bound to occur. If you are not interested, just don't respond or react. The perpetrator soon stops.
