You would think some of these teams like Williams are just 13 pounds of paint away from competing with Max.

think it's just the lighting from that angle. Max confirmed the livery would be the same.

Hard to tell in that lighting, but is the upper edge of the side pod inlet extended out?

Would be funny if they flipped it now that most other teams are copying their old jutting lower lip.

ETA: it definitely is based on the official photos. Looks a bit like the FrankenMerc from last year. I wonder if this is the actual RB20 that will show up to testing, or just a model Horner had them whip up as a subtle jab at Toto and his failed concept.

Easier to stay under the cap when you dont have to pay a design team for a new livery. RB playing chess not checkers

I saw elsewhere that the front wing and rear wing are not painted but you can barely tell since their primary navy is so dark.

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.


he's toast. not sure how he's hung on this long to be honest.

hmmm sounds like she was ok with it until she wasn't if it was over a considerable amount of time.

What changed?

Messing around with an employee is never ok, especially for someone like Horner

Dang that snuck up fast!

Going to be an odd year of fandom for me. Pulling for Sainz but also wanting Ferrari to crash and burn.

Caveman take. It can take time to work up the nerve to make these accusations against someone of Horner’s stature.
