All the media reports I've read say that they are, though I wouldn't be surprised if that changes in the wake of the inquest findings.

He'd want to be bloody careful doing it. Seems a pretty decent conflict of interest there now.

I was thinking more along the lines of her resigning, in the wake of her allegations having been found to be baseless. One would think that makes her position untenable.

I can't see Horner sacking her. As you say, it's not a good look, and would be seen as openly vindictive.

On the other hand... if we assume that Horner's position was correct - that she was an underperformer, who was read the riot act, and didn't appreciate it - then there's a reasonable chance that she finds herself out of a job on performance grounds. However, Horner would want to keep his hands very clean if that were to happen - he'd want to step away and let others handle the entire process, to avoid perceptions of conflict of interest.

Yeah you're probably right, hard to see how she'd continue in her role now as if nothing had happened.

Assuming she's good at what she does, I'd hope she wasn't lost to the sport at the very least.

I'm assuming she's not very good at what she does. I wouldn't be to fussed if she's lost to the sport.

In a now deleted tweet an RB Engineer talked about the moment Horner told the team the news

Ok, watched the first 2 EP's of the new DTS season, already better than S4/S5 (Other than Danica Patrick.....give us more Claire Williams instead please....)

Feels more like Season 1 in regards to behind the scenes footage vs manufactured drama. Hope the rest of the season keeps it up

Why Patrick? there are 50 women in F1 that could do better than her.

shes not good and I dont care about the US market... Bernie Collins 48 tiimes better.

Anyone else having issues with the KAYO feed?

 

[Sven]

No Kayo feed

 

[thegrach]

It's on the live channels on 506, looks like the 4k launch has failed dismally!

 

[Matele]

What a crock of s**t. If he's been cleared, there's no need for it to be confidential.

Smells like a payoff to me.

It’s important to remember it isn’t a court hearing either. It’s an HR matter that has been quietly investigated and resolved, there won’t be anything more of and we will never know specifics.

 

[Tandy]

Lol Max. Whinging and complaining the cars no good yet is 1st in FP1 so far. I Mean I hope he's right.

Yep- it's shat the nest.

I did like the commentary: "It wouldn't be an FP1 if Max didn't complain about the car."

Advertise 4K to get subscriptions and fail to deliver what's promised.

Seems to me that a compensation payment to KAYO subscribers under ACCC regulations is incoming. Perhaps off set by the fact that they didn't waste an hour or so of their lives having to listen to Chandhok.

 

[gaskin]

Good to see the colour back in the timing graphic.

I'm not particularly sure what the point of doing a soft tyre run in FP1 is. FP2 will be more in line with the time of quali and the race as well as the track being rubbered in more.

Daniel P1. Stop the session.

Karun making a fool of himself saying that Tsunoda was beating Dan and Dan has to step up to get the Red Bull seat and Dan goes bang! - P1!

He is an utter fool with a clear set of biases who adds feck all insight.

A failure as a driver across multiple formats and now as a commentator. No idea how he remains with Sky. Perhaps he comes with sponsorship $$ as he did when he was a driver?

Well it’s Sky.. let’s just say competency is not their chief employment criteria.

He was very negative towards Daniel last season as well. Seems personal

Switch the Kayo stream to SD and it should work, obviously they can't get a HD stream to work

It's working on 4k now.

Red Bull strongest in race sim, but pretty far off the pace in quali sim.
Doesn't bode well for Perez

However they will probably turn the engines up and lock out the front row.

 

[gaskin]

Same thing happened last season. Not look so good in a practice and then blitz everyone in quali and the race.
