    I would not be surprised that JV just cannot stand the fact of not being in charge - and direct his resentment to the ones actually being.

    Well it must be said, Jos’s version of ‘hitting a chick’ has been a bit different over the years.

    Yes, but Jos was probably trying to actually hit it….

    My wife is perplexed too, she said - is Horner being a better dad then Jos? Some jealousy going on? I mean JV is making this all public, he's skipping Saudi Arabia right?

    To me, "best" in the context of Enzo and my quote is what wins races.

    If you think SF-24 should experiment going back to stick, you do you.

    ***
    If you're talking road cars, a whole cottage industry is (for better or worse) retrofitting newer Ferrari to stick.

    I believe she is at the home office in Milton Keynes. The problem I have with the leaked texts is I don't know if they are real. Assuming they are, Horner was being outright sexual.

    Something that big name sponsors like Ford are not keen on being associated with. From a business sense, this could be very bad.

    I wish I knew, we will find out more sooner than later. For now I'm loving the RB drama.

    Yeah I know what you mean! I think your own feelings about the 2021 championship coincide with mine.

    From what I have read it looks like Horner thought that Max was too young and inexperienced to be promoted to the Red Bull A team. It looks like he was forced to do it by Helmut. It sounds like JV thinks Horner doesn't believe enough in Max. There is also the issue of money (as always!). Max signed a multi-year deal with Red Bull. It is believed that it the contract has a similar clause to Newey's - If Horner leaves the team the contract can be renegotiated. JV think Max should be paid a lot more than he's getting. If Horner is forced out of RB then Max can talk to other teams and either decide to move or decide to stay with Red Bull if they offer him more money. This whole Fiona Hewitson affair is a convenient tool to get Horner removed.

    I'm pretty sure the msgs are real. Nobody has denied that.

    Nothing quite like a father who wants nothing more than to squeeze as much money, admiration, and cache that they could never achieve on their own… out of their child.

    Congratulations, Jos. You’ve turned F1 on its head, robbed fans of the ability to just sit and watch or read about racing, and will likely tarnish lives and F1 itself for years to come. Great job. Oh… but let it not be lost that in the midst of all this… you’re still a serial and violent abuser yourself.

    You know… it’s always something. Sports used to be one thing that you could immerse yourself in and get away from petty and useless drama fr. Now, it’s all politics and Kardashian’s…and not even Kim Kardashian… but low rent Klohe Kardashian.

    it’s always something now. Whether it’s politics, green initiatives (in racing of all places), Lewis and his social justice warrior nonesense, or ridiculous rules and regulations… F1 seems more like a reality tv series now. Who gets the rose… who gets picked. The race itself is just something that happens at the end of the show. The world’s ******** has fully infiltrated the last place of escape.

    Oh come on...Horner has denied "any wrongdoing" multiple times, including the leak from last week.
    So, if Horner doesn't deny everything every hour on the hour, people say "he hasn't denied THAT".
    Either keep up or don't, but don't just make stuff up.

    thats what happens when the racecars
    are formulated, over regulated, tire dependent etc etc.
    the races are boring. actually, what racing?
    and i want to hear in public
    what is being said in the paddock and over beers. dont sanitize it for me.

    They are turning Horner into the Weinstein of F1. I’m genuinely surprised how this is being weaponized.

    Horner appears to be a d…..bag and who would stab you in the back to get ahead. just ask Spice Wife.
    and maybe Horner knows too much about potential “cheating” re their cars. that alone would get him a huge severance payday.
