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

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

Didn't say it was... But the fact that it went on for a considerable amount of time and is just now making a complaint makes it seem like it was Consensual/mutual up until December.

Hell hath no fury...

We're all just guessing the severity until we see actual details, but anything sexually suggestive (even in the least) to a subordinate is career suicide in today's social climate. Especially if you're dumb enough to put it in a text message.

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


Indeed. I hope somehow Russell proves that Merc has no need for Hamilton as well.

This. I've said it for a few weeks now and I feel stronger than ever, Horner's fricked. He's done. He's never struck me as a stupid man, but I guess it's amazing what power can do to someone's headspace. It's a shame, because if F1 is serious about making inroads into the US, they need personalities like his front and center.

If what's been said and written about Horner is true, I make a motion to henceforth refer to "Christian Horner" as "Christian Horny" and/or any derivative thereof.

Do I hear a second?

Didn’t say it wasn’t… just saying in todays climate, post-me too and the likes, this stuff comes out fast.

So just odd with the wording that this went on so long without it being brought to light.

Wondering if it was a mutual relationship that went south.

It's not sounding too great for ol' Horn dog.

Horner getting canned for trying to bang an underling while Darth Marko gets to stay and sends Checo Mexican word of the day memes every morning is the type of F1 drama we needed to start the season off right. This could be a full blown soap opera season if we could just get some damn racing back.

This is mind boggling that they met a week ago and still nothing.

If this is as damning as that quick snippet claims, the evidence would be overwhelming and they should have moved to can him.

I mean, testing is 3 days away, race 2 weeks, and you are going to fire the head of the group in the middle of that?

The rumor I read yesterday said the attorney did his investigative interviews and then went on vacation without wrapping it all up

LOL

Maybe they should have found an attorney that had time to do things.

Unless they are being sneaky, going to let Horner be there to get the car set up and ready to go for the season and then "bye felicia"

Yeah, the rumor also included it was the Thai portion of the company that hired this lawyer, and they are pro-Horner. A delay would be in their interests.

And they gave him the opportunity to resign in December without all this but he refused. I’ve not read of anyone in RBR or the mothership Red Bull that have his back on this.

Are the Thais concerned about dick picks?

Probably not like the woke west.

Good for Racy Spice.

Could be wrong, but I just don't see them firing him.

Too much time has passed and now they are backed into the start of the season.

I'd imagine they will come out that he did some questionable things and his punishment is to attend counseling sessions or the likes.

Williams will be late to testing. Vowles is spinning it positively, but we'll see.
