Naughty boy if true!!

The independent investigation into team boss Christian Horner appears to be one of major proportions. The female employee who came forward in December 2023 at the billion-dollar group's headquarters in Austria accuses Horner of sexually transgressive behaviour.The employee handed over text messages, which would show this, to the external lawyer investigating the Horner case. The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf obtained these messages.From the text messages between Red Bull's female employee and Horner, viewed by De Telegraaf, It emerges that Horner sent sexually oriented messages to the employee regularly and over a considerable period of time.It is also clear that Horner did everything he could to keep the matter under wraps. In the weekend before the first publication in De Telegraaf - after he was confronted with the investigation into cross-border behaviour on February 2nd and asked for a response - his lawyers sent a letter to the lawyer assisting the female employee within 24 hours. In it, the Horner camp offered a settlement for a whopping £650,000, which is just over €760,000.The allegations regarding Horner's sexually transgressive behaviour are now also known to several, other key players in the Formula 1 world.

You don't offer that kind of out of court settlement for a few misconstrued messages.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu.
 
Day 1 of Bahrain testing and this is the leaderboard during the first session.

1708509505734.webp

Now I know we don't read much into 1st day testing but Max always likes to know whats underneath him so has rocketed into P1 with a 1:32. The leading lap in the race last year was a 1:33 by Zhou so thats an interesting comparison. 3 lap time last year was by Max with a 1:29. Be intresting to see how these times tumble as the testing progresses. Day 3 tends to be the Quali laps.

Red Bull have done some crazy stuff with their sidepods and the area around the drivers head. Two very thin inlets in the traditional sidepod area, one vertical and one horizontal. Then two quite big inlets either side of the drivers' head.

God I hope they don't smash everyone again this year, but the strange things they've done with the car make me fear the worst.
 
Oh they will absolutely smash everyone this year and probably next year as well. If oniy one team aces the rules from the start it’s basically game over for the entire era as we saw with Merc where it took Red Bull until the final season to catch up.
