I only hope Fred Vasseur and Elkann are just calling Newey right now, making the best of all this mess ..
Jos thanks he’s 100% responsible for Maxs success. There is a reason Hamilton sacked his dad, to stop him from going along the same path. And Anthony is nowhere near as narcissistic as Jos. If Jos pulls this off though you’d have to give him credit, Horner gets paid something like 20-30 million. That’s a cake job from just being a spectator no?
…and I can’t see The Doctor ever approving anyone so volatile for that position, especially given the obvious nepotism.
but he doesn't work for free he can walk away now with nothing or hang on for a big payday. end result is same so might as well get paid
From Reddit: A rumor that's gaining more traction is that Jos also had a relationship with the PA that Christian had an affair with. Christian tried to get her to end things with Jos, under the guise of her knowing team secrets, which triggered her filing a complaint about his coercive behaviour. Jos and Max's manager follow the PA on her private Instagram, and file 47 & file 55 in the leak feature conversations where the PA tells Christian he can't tell her who she spends time with and she accuses him of being jealous. (But as a disclaimer, there's no concrete evidence, this is just a theory and rumour that been's going around various sites for at least a week).
IMO he's a dead man walking. he isn't keeping his job folding would be walking away now (and avoiding getting further dragged through the PR mud) he'll fight tooth and nail, not to save his job but to get bought out of it.
No real comment on the female involved...maybe hiding behind a D notice or some kind of super injunction? Should have gone to Specsavers!
+1 - no matter whether it's fair or not, in the current climate there's no way he could really get away with such accusation.
Not just Newey, but Verstappen! Oh wait, they signed that fading superstar, ‘7-time champion’ and now can just watch Verstappen walk into a Merc drive.

Jos is a tool, rumored he beats his women! Temper problems. They don't need his distraction. The old F1 years ago was much better.
The #1 team's #1 driver's father injecting himself into the public conversation with a knife in the TP's back is absolutely crazy. Truly a soap opera of the highest order. Also, Max's endorsement of Horner (as a person not just TP-related performance) was less than 100%. More and more knives are coming out.
