Very very true....Sad but what did she expect. Still putting that to one side it is a sorry and sad situation. Especially when youve probably got to make some kind of "front" for the media until you work it all out behind the scenes. When in the real world, its probably not what she wanted to do.
In saying that, what do we or i even know deep down.
We can judge but most people havent walked in those shoes. (hopefully)

Either way, back to Horner the rat....looks like hes weathered the storm, but no doubt it will eventually catch up with him in some form.
The flirting/sexting (whatever the extent of what went on) being leaked was just a bi-product of the storm me thinks. I doubt the core upset that caused the leak is resolved.

There are three entities: Marko who has the backing of Max and his Dad, along with the Austrian side of Red Bull, Horner who has the backing of the more powerful Thai side of Red Bull, and the Verstappen's who demand.. probably whatever they want so long as Max is to remain at the team.

That's a lot of powerful people with different ideas, and that situation clearly came to a head and caused the leak. But... nothing has actually changed, so they can't all be happy, no one has actually won - but all three will be fed up until at least one of them gets everything they want.

It can't be harmonious behind the scenes so long as these stubborn individuals have different ideas about who should stay/go and how things should be done.

P.s speaking of pr*cks Paul i hope you can comprehend that very basic paragraph above, i tried to make it as clear as possible. But no doubt you will struggle.
It was absolutely not my intention to significantly offend you as I have clearly done. Was just meant to be a lighthearted bit of fun.

It gives F1 some pantomime villains though, which is probably quite healthy.

Because if you do Sargeant will probably spin and crash up your arse.

That's a tricky one.. I don't ever seek to defend Horner, I see him as a turd of a man. But logically there's every reason to believe that it was the corporate Red Bull overlords and marketing teams simply didn't want verstappen snr/Horner agitator/wife beater getting any light or attention this weekend.

I can imagine Horner himself either wouldn't have cared either way, or potentially would have seen it as a PR positive from a personal perspective to show support for Jos doing the drive - he could easily have spun it as further 'evidence' that everything was friendly and lovely at the team and with the verstappen's.

My gut tells me this was not a Horner decision, but easy for the media to play it up as such.

Andrew Benson went in to it and associated matters on R5 earlier but as you say it's the "Meedya"

Irrespective of who exactly told Jos to withdraw from the event, it’s yet another example of the machinations still going on behind the scenes at the team, and the struggle for power. Even as their on-track success continues, it’s clear that all is far from good.

It will be months before she gets to tribunal.

It will be when the tribunal court gets round to it. They are overwhelmed with cases.

For anyone watching the C4 coverage this evening, during the Sound of Music montage they showed a clip of Christian Horner walking, alone, to the words "...when the heart is lonely..." smile
