The F1 Thread

[Law's Bus]

And a Google Drive link containing alleged evidence of the Christian Horner affair has been sent to every journalist with a permanent F1 accreditation, every Team Principal, Liberty Media, senior F1 figures like Stefano Domenicali etc. from an anonymous source.

That's quite something. The distribution list is VERY interesting - and very unlikely to have come from the complainant I would have thought. You'd have to be, say, someone pretty senior in a team or a team's parent company to have all of those email addresses.


It does need very careful wording of any comments this one as there's bound to be follow-up legalities. Whilst it's unlikely lawyers will notice comments on TWF, probably best to be on the safe side.

Series 7 of drive to survive might be entertaining.

The Mercedes actually looks stable and drivable which is encouraging. Max still destroying them all on race sims and has zero tyre deg but the gap might be a little closer than feared

Easy to get email addresses, quick flick through LinkedIn and asking Google the right question you'll soon be able to piece together almost any CEO you'd ever want to contact.

Hopefully the details about what Horner was accused of come out now, so we can all judge for ourselves.

Plenty of Twitter warriors saying all this evidence could have been phot shopped and made up. Errr yeah right.

Apparently it doesn't contain her personal info, but does of those who gave evidence in the investigation.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It won’t get released to the public as the litigation would be enormous.

The release list was very targeted to do maximum damage within the sport for whinger spice, but nobody on that list is making it public and if Roy think they should you frankly have no clue about how litigation works.

 

[The Bear]

If it's been sent to Journos then they might post some details.

Once it's been emailed to those sorts of people isn't it classed as public domain now, especially since the investigation is over?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No journo will post details. Be sensible. This is NOT public domain at all. It’s a specifically targeted release within the sport

Google drive to survive

There is stuff popping up on twitter, not sure if it's genuine or not though

I have no idea what they'll allowed or not allowed to tbh. That's why I was asking. They haven't signed NDAs.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s nothing to do with NDA. It would be a matter for getting sued though.

Public release isn’t the aim. It’s gone to those in the sport that most damages horner from someone who has access to the original information and there is a power struggle brewing in red bull. Neither the detail or the mole will come out.

Another season of Verstappen ruling the roost again I see..

Ferrari's can challenge on one lap pace (Sainz had the fastest overall lap in Q2) but I think Red Bull's race pace is superior.

FIFY

Perez is shit in comparison

 

[The Bear]

I've seen the leaked WhatsApp messages now I won't be posting them on here, don't worry Pad.

Horner comes across as a desperate older guy wanting constant attention from a younger woman. Surprised he was cleared though tbh. Geri definitely won't be happy with him.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He was cleared by a white wash. Someone wants to get him though.

Looks like another thrilling season of verstappen being miles ahead. Deep joy.

/season

Same time next year?

 

[Tredman]

Max’s wife beating father getting on his high horse about Horner is good fun. The soap opera at red bull is way more interesting than the racing.

 

[The Bear]

Red Bull have apparently suspended the woman who was Horner's PA.

I don't know if that means they are blaming her for the leaked information, but I doubt she'd want to work for them now any way.

It is utterly awful PR after everything, but of course we just don't know the full story at all.

It could be the most victim-blaming decision in the history of F1, or there could be something else behind it. There's just not enough evidence in the public domain (yet) to tell.
