So she is now with Jos Verstappen? They've probably all concocted all this to oust Horner and for Jos to leverage his way into the team

 

[BomberFan355]

The PA ain’t that much of a looker.
Why would you even go there when you’ve got spice at home?

You know the saying, it doesn’t matter how hot they are, someone is sick of their shit!

Can someone fill me in on the Coco pops things, I’m assuming something from the text messages?

Finally an article that isn’t afraid to list all the shit Jos has done in the past…

Jos Verstappen to miss Saudi GP amid Horner furor - sources

Max Verstappen's father, Jos, will not attend the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix following comments he made about under-fire Red Bull boss Christian Horner, sources have told ESPN.

If Red Bull were smart they would stop letting Jos into the paddock but that won't happen while he is aligned with Helmut.

I saw Christian at a grocery store in Saudi Arabia yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Anyone know the origin of this meme ?
Always been curious

Think they did last year. Or at least told him to shut his mouth. Probably where all this started

They've realised their racing is currently shit so they have to keep people engaged somehow.

Waiting for the next headline to be:

"Max Verstappen had been asked by Christian Horner, the team principal of Red Bull Racing, to back Mohammed Ben Sulayem publicly."

 

[happy_eagle]

Could be a nasty domino effect all stemming from the Horner incident.

 

[Jatz]

Horner is doing a great job of trying to create some equalisation in the sport.

You know, technically everyone on this forum is level on wins with all but one F1 driver... be proud of that people, be proud.

Seems that it's Horner's business affairs that are the real cause of tension behind the scenes at RBR and not his alleged affair with his former PA.

Jos Verstappen has confirmed that the news Christian Horner along with some wealthy British Investors, have been working with the Thailand 51% owners of Red Bull to buy the Red Bull F1 team has divided the Red Bull GmbH camp bitterly with Dr. Helmet Marko finding himself embroiled in the arguments. Mateschitz junior began to let it be known he believed Horner was too senior and expensive for the business as he and Mintzlaff attempted to relocate decision making from Milton Keynes back to Salzburg.

I read this. A bit dodgy by Horner but Helmut Marko is 80 years of age and hardly going to be running an F1 team any time soon, and as soon as Max goes, Jos goes.

 

[gaskin]

There has been a rumour for probably a week or two that it is the Austrian part of RB aligned with Helmut and Jos that want Horner gone but the Thai owners who are the majority shareholders are aligned with Horner. Horner's power grab for more power supposedly pissed off the Austrian side.

Seb Vettel succeeding Marko has to be part of the endgame here, he would be elite in that role.

Or take Mr Sulayem's FIA role when Mohammed is put in the Bin.

what would make him 'elite' in that? it's a management role, not a driving role and he's never shown me he has any expertise either as a man manager or in administration generally

What is helmuts official role?

 

[happy_eagle]

What is helmuts official role?

Manager of the Red Bull driver development program isn't he ?

He seems to take credit for Vettel, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Sainz etc..

So Horner is above him?
