Red Bull investigate Horner for inappropriate behaviour.

Beyond the wild speculation on this thread one thing is certain- Max will drive a perfect race and no distractions will affect his performance.

 

One thing’s for sure…a certain FIA president is glad for all of this…his “problem” is on the 12th page, below the fold.

 

Via The Daily Mail --
Will Horner finally live his dream to drive again lol ??????????????????

Christian Horner 'believes he can win WITHOUT Max Verstappen', Red Bull insiders claim 'after the F1 champion threatened to quit' if his mentor Helmut Marko is suspended for 'leaking evidence'

Horner now faces the potential of making a decision between keeping Marko to satisfy Verstappen or risk losing his big asset.

However, as reported by German outlet Auto Motor Sport, he believes he can continue to win without Verstappen, Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey and Ford.
(One voice from the team: "He seriously believes that he can win without Verstappen, Newey and Ford because he thinks he is the architect of success.")

 

Utter crap from a crap tabloid.

 

he seems guilty to most that he is definitely an ego maniac and untrustworthy. i think he is also jealous of Toto and wanted to own the Red Bull team. surely that would have ruined the team.
If Spice Wife devorces Christian, I cant wait to hear the songs she write about him. Who wouldnt want to see Spicy and Swifty tour together?

 

If true, these are two HUGE, monumental targets to have on your back….

The "story" now is that Marko leaked the texts.
OK. So how did he get them (the texts)?

 

So now he's an "ego maniac" and "untrustworthy"?
No doubt you can supply actual examples of these behaviors (from a reputable source, not some blogger in his mom's basement).

 

Really? You're quoting the Daily Mail?
I wonder what the National Enquirer has to say...
And some German rag has the nerve to actually say "One voice from the team"
Christian Horner hits me as a very smart guy. I doubt he thinks that Max is expendable.
It's funny how the guy who has been damaged the most (Horner) has had the least to say (other than say he's innocent). Marko runs his mouth to anyone who will put a mic in front of him. Ditto Jos.

 

Any tabloid that only gives tiny quotes can't be believed in the slightest.

"He isn't lying" In 3 words they will then write some completely bogus article that is completely out of context of how those 3 words were said.

I listened to the interviews from Horner and Max this weekend and their actual words are nowhere near what the media is writing.

 

^^^
Yep. Here's the media at work:
Wolff makes offer to Marko amid Red Bull F1 future doubts (msn.com)
NO WHERE in this piece was there an actual "offer". Typical clickbait that too many people fall for.
Handy tip: READ the article, NOT the headline.

And now:
Helmut Marko pledges future to Red Bull after CEO talks - ESPN

So that blows up the "Marko leaves, and takes Max and Newey with him" silliness.

For a team that is "blowing up, horribly divided, being torn apart, internal strife, etc..." Red Bull sure seems to be clicking on all cylinders.

 

Apples with apples Lewis is loved or hated plan and simple and he's far from sweet and innocent..

 

^^^
I don't know Lewis Hamilton so I can't comment on his level of "sweetness and innocence". I guess you do know him personally so you are qualified to make these claims.
I do know that grown men calling other grown men derogatory nicknames because they don't like the way the person dresses or their stance on social issues says a great deal about the childish grownup's "calibre" or character if you prefer.

 

On TV both Horner and (uncharacteristically) Marko appeared to be under some serious stress. Marko is usually impassive or a bit abrasive, he seemed shaken by his conversation with the boss. Stand-up comment by Max may have saved his *ss.

 

“childish grownups”? passing judgment are we?

 

^^^
I don't know...what do YOU call grown men who use "LuLu, Maxine, Horney, etc"?
But if "childish" is giving you heartburn, how about "immature"?
Certainly mature grownups don't do this.

 

Guess you don’t watch a lot of comedy…

 

It’s an internet chat room not a board meeting Jim. And the sir has shown who he is for a long time. So yeah we all have a feel for who he is. Some are ok with it and some are not.

 

Sickening language from him to be honest. The correct term in 2024 is Minor Identifying Adult.

To speak like that in this day and age, what's next?!

 

Irrelevant, until LH brought it into the sport and leveraged it for personal gain within the sport.

How I personally found out about it.

 

I actually do watch a lot of comedy. Is that what you call this?
I guess it’s generational thing…the “famous” people who I disagree with, well, I just disagree. I don’t go on the internet calling them names, so other budding “comedians” can get a laugh. But that’s just me.

 

He probably didn't mean that literally. More like an expression.

 

People making up lane nicknames of the sportsman they don’t support. Big deal. You afraid it hurts the poor drivers feelings or just yours. Nice virtue signal. Keep it up.

 

I do not not him personally but I seen his public behaviour. He comes across to me as a bit of a princess. I am not a fan. but I am not going to bash him either. But all in all he's pretty harmless.

As for Horner... Cheats of his pregnant partner, Tries to buy the team from behind the owners back tells you a lot about him regardless of what else you now for fact.
btw I was talking of the people here not on the Lewis thread I have no interest in seeing that thread sound like a lot of drama no thanks...

 

I thought people were following F1 for the racing ...
