BOOOOO!!

Can't see this being the last of it. Unless the woman in question has been bought off, she'll appeal and usually what happens is there will start to be rumblings that will snowball until it becomes completely untenable for RB or F1 to have him around.

There was rumours they tried to buy her off for half a million and she refused.

I’ve tolerated all the sponsorship fuelled race choices. I’ve begrudgingly accepted the FIA’s and F1’s drive to make certain people win.

I’ve allowed the bizarre race formats that they’ve tried. But an actual full race on a Saturday?

K’off F1.

The first two are Saturday races because Ramadan starts the Sunday after the Jeddah race.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the schedule next season as Ramadan will be 3rd week of Feb onwards. Probably end up shifting Bah and Jeddah to end of season. (plus it helps F1's green credentials)

Based on the (admittedly, early) showings so far in FP1 and FP2 it may not be the RB romp this season everyone predicted.

Now now don’t go getting your hopes up lol

I see Mercedes have found a sandbag or two to throw out of the car since Testing. Cheeky Scamps

That is absolutely superb.

If it's really juicy it will show just what a shameless organisation Red Bull really are.

"Yeah, we carried out an investigation, all above board..... Nothing to see here"

Kick them out lol

Can't wait to see Horner's willy.

Well most of it is available on Twitter to view now and it's not exactly explosive, if this is the extent of it he certainly won't be getting fired... his relationship with Geri is going to be awkward though...

It'll just keep on going though. Dead man walking, this is just the start of it I'm sure. He would have been sensible to have walked and it would have all died down in a matter of days.

Probably the reason she didn't settle at half a million is because Toto paid a million to have all the evidence and he'll now toy with him for a few weeks to make his life a misery.

All I can say is he has the worst chat ever. Asking can she do the splits and for some pics. I was expecting something juicier.

Geri will be fuming. It’s obviously not his first rodeo.
