Silly season continues now, as Horner, is under internal investigation by Red Bull after reports of "inappropriate behaviour" made from an employee, reported by a Dutch outlet.

Format of sprint races now confirmed, with P1 and sprint qually on Friday, sprint race THEN race qually on Saturday, with main race staying Sunday.

If the rumours are true, horny horner won't be around for long. Unless of course the accuser suddenly finds themselves out of employment...

Horner due to be spoken to Friday with a team of lawyers coming in.

And in another bizarre turn of events, Sauber are now in hot water of their title sponsor "Stake" not having a license in Switzerland and therefore may not be allowed to race with it - https://twitter.com/decalspotters/statu ... 5755237561

I can't see them getting rid of him, I think if it was that nailed on we might have seen him suspended? Someone will probably get paid off to shut up and go away.

Just read that Horner is being taken to court in The Netherlands, and has offered a payment to the 'victim'.
How reliable these reports are is debatable.

I read that he has offered (before this all come out) £600,000 to the individual which was declined. So, he is obviously trying to hide something and can't bode well. One half of the ownership wants him out, the other is backing him.

Also, Ford aren't too impressed.

If all this is correct, Horner needs to resign and let the team move on, it is unfair to drag the team through this.

So this seems to be much more than a 'he said/she said' thing. Looking forward to Friday testing on Sky.

The above 'fact' if untrue and repeated is libellous and damaging

Trial by media

I read Horner is suing the Dutch newspaper

There's several different reports if you plug it into Google, allegedly £650k in hush money...but all "allegations".

As a precaution in case anyone from RB are plane spotters and read FC - and there were one or two at McLaren when I was there - If I were you I would edit your post and replace the word fact with rumours are or I Read ...... :Wow:

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - it will end up in the papers!

Plus his young family are exposed to all this speculation about their dad.
