Max was up until 4 am on iRacing, using a laptop, Xbox controller and shitty hotel wifi.

That popped in my head last night... Is it a coordination of the 3 to leak the messages and push Horner out.

At this point, I don't see anyway that Helmut remains, thus Max is gone.

Have to think theres a good 75% or greater chance he is in Merc 2025/2026

What a crazy dramatic way to bust up a dream team dynasty situation.

I'm kind of disappointed if so... Was really hoping for the honeypot situation.

Which I still have hope for. Why would she be suspended if not? I mean, she can easily sue RB if they suspend/fire her for sharing her own texts with someone else, who then leaks them. They have no control over that.

Now if she set him up, thats a different story.

I want Moar drama. Maybe this season will actually be interesting.

If Helmut is indeed the one who leaked them, then she likely would have been the one to have given them to him. Hence her suspension and his potential one coming

Yeah, but RB can't punish her for sharing her own texts with someone else. Its not RB property or proprietary, it was all done outside of "work".

At least not here in the states, the NLRB would eat Redbull alive in court. And the Europeans are far more liberal than the US in terms of labor shite.

Guess its all semantics though. If they told her the investigation is private and don't share anything discussed with anyone else, they could claim this is that, but its a fine line.

Pussy is undefeated again.

I really don't think Max has anything to do with it. He seems to tote the line of Jos and just wants to race. I don't even think he cares what car he is in, although that can change if he drives a trap car for a bit.

Max doesn't, but his dad certainly does.

Going to be interesting to see when Marko exits and how quickly Max executes his contract clause.

Well this is going to impact racing. We all though RB would def have things locked next two years and likely through 2028 with Max's contract.

This could mean Max is gone far sooner and send Redbull into a tailspin.

Just a guess here from a newbie fan, but I'm guessing Max's words at the moment are threats in an effort to sway the powers that are, to do whatever they can to keep Marco.

His real decision will have to made if indeed Marko does leave.

Just words at this point. Words that aren't costing money or his seat in the best car.

RUMOR: If RedBull lose Max, Adrian Newey would join Toyota GR and help design a hyper car for Le Mans, Might would return to F1 in '26 for Audi

So back to today's race... Max won by 22 seconds last week, what are we thinking this week?

There will be a red flag at some point that will stack up the cars again, so I'm thinking it will be cut down to 8 seconds or so.

If no redflags/yellows within last half of race, it will be 30 seconds.

The death of Dietrich seems to have set off a power struggle in RB

He's getting himself involved in it with the strong statements about Helmut and Jos. Seems like his bluff will be called sooner than later.
