Makes sense in a lot of cases… 5 seconds doesn’t do much if you go off track to pass and quickly gain enough to be out of DRS

I don’t mind the 10 sec. You can give the position back like piastri did before they hand it out as well. I like the gamble.

Trying to rack my brain for any professional short of Secretariat where the top performer was literally In a different league!

Max's ICEMAN abilities combined with the RB20 / RB19 is literally in another league.

It's LaBron in the WNBA

I will admire the machine that Horner has built until 2026 when ideally we will see a major shake up with more manufacturing teams.

Horner is such a dumbass. He posted a Happy Mother's Day to Geri on IG and left the comments on.

Every comment is about him cheating on his first wife with Geri and now cheating on Geri with an employee


My first thought reading this was holy frick how did I forget today was mother's day.

Twitters saying Christian will be let go before Australia. Felt inevitable.

Complete turnaround at Red Bull, according to F1 Insider: “F1 Insider has information that the Thais now want to follow the Austrians Mintzlaff and Mateschitz to fire Horner. One reason: on the American market, important for Red Bull, calls for a boycott have been increasing since the affair. Secondly, Red Bull's Thai managers fear that the collaborator will address the public in the coming days and speak out about the internal investigation, which was perhaps not as objective as we want to make it out to be. believe in the fans. »

Assuming it happens, which I still think is a remote chance, only a bottom feeder would. He’s done winning if he gets canned.

An OT4 at best wrecking a team on a legendary run might be the most F1 soap opera thing ever.

Didnt say Horner didn’t, but Newey built that machine that is unstoppable, just like Brawn was the god behind the Merc dominance.

Yeah I don’t buy that BS. It’ll be interesting to see who stays and who goes and whether helping push him out ends up being a bad decision for the Verstappens.

I’d assume there are plenty people at the factory who were closer to Horner than anyone in Austria. The other top teams will be chomping at the bit to steal them.

Ford is only one I've seen come out with any sort of public questioning. And that was moreso when it was still up in the air whether Horner was staying bc they are invested in stability of the team.

I understand but Christian put the band together and did it with two different drivers, in two different regs. Newey gets plenty of love and I love him, i own his book for gods sake, but Christian is a fantastic TP.

brawns benneton and Ferrari cars were designed by rory byrne. Brawn left Mercedes in 2013, 3 years before the hybrid era began. His role was more comparable to Horner than Newey although i think his track record is far superior to Horner
