I really dislike one strike and you’re out. It makes everybody walk on egg shells. It creates a culture of telling on others. Nothing good comes out of that.

But if Horner did something of that level, that’s more than a slap on the wrist. He’s the one that settles the example for everybody.

there is commentary that this messy mass of shifting accusations and the (RB) company's worded response suggest that someone internal from RB wants to get him out and that this is planned since the death of Dittrich

either way, he's 100% gone

being the only defender of Perez, Perez should probably find another job today

Appears it's no more than something that centres around a 'strict work regime' with a RB employee complaining of being overworked and someone else is using this as an excuse to oust CH. Meeting on Friday to sort it out.

commentary says it's an internal RB power struggle, possibly masterminded by Marko to get rid of his joint equal!

so Horner has until Friday to dig up bigger dirt on Marko.

one of them is going to leave in pieces, at the moment it's Horner.

We may never know the real details if it's an internal matter, its reported now that an overworked employee made a complaint, if there is a recording of the happening then the words spoken will be listened to at the meeting.
Some bosses use a hidden recorder in disciplining procedures so it's up to the employee to protect themselves also. If the underlying cause of this is a continuing clash of personality between Marko and CH then it may have to be sorted 'internally' and one or the other may have to leave.
The 30 year age gap between the two was never going to be a easy ride.

it's RB's immediate and overarching response that sounded bizzare.

- they take the matter very seriously
- they hire an external barrister
- they state it will be concluded
- they state if found inappropriate Horner will be gone
- they state they will replace him with Jono if if Horner is gone

so who in RB has the power to make such statements? CH and HM are joint top of the chain.

it's obvious.

This is just the standard automatic reply nowadays used by companies for anything that crops up. Spice wife was in tears apparently according to a well known gutter press paper.

Defending or attacking Christian Horner in this matter: hold your horses.

The only material facts known so far about this matter:
  • a female Red Bull Racing employee accuses team boss Christian Horner of "inappropriate controlling behaviour" or "incredibly controlling behaviour";
  • the Red Bull parent company appointed an external specialist barrister to investigate the allegations, as part of an independent investigation ("After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation. This process, which is already underway, is being carried out by an external specialist barrister. The company takes these matters extremely seriously and the investigation will be completed as soon as practically possible. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.");
  • Horner "completely denies" the allegations and described these as "nuts" in UK and Dutch press;
  • Horner will be heard this Friday by the appointed external specialist barrister.
All the rest is speculation for the time being.

I vote to strike this from the record because it's CH & RB's immediate response to everything, especially when they cheat.

Christian Horner described the allegations as "nuts", not as "my nuts".

so it is pics of private parts.

But agreed, let's just see how it shakes out.

If it's some Helmut against Horner thing and not something sexual, I'd be flabbergasted if any corporate entity chose to keep the bigot.

FWIW:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25768...ruggle-claims/
"Sources say the investigation is set to centre on a female employee’s concerns about Horner’s strict work regime and does not relate to any sexual impropriety.
An F1 source told The Sun: “Christian had concerns about her conduct and made it clear he was unhappy.
“She went on to make a complaint about his ‘controlling’ behaviour, which detonated this crisis for the team.”
One F1 source claimed a deliberate attempt was being made to destabilise Horner. Rumours of a power struggle have dogged Red Bull Racing since the death of his ally and billionaire co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz in 2022"

I read this earlier and if that's all it is then I'm surprised it has all this publicity.
