Sorry for resurrecting this thread but it made me smile today when Ted said "there's Christian checking his WhatsApp " in FP3......??
Quite enjoyable watching him squirm in quali too after Max clonked the wall.

That’s a brilliantly subtle way of showing total disdain for Horny. A disdain which I suspect is shared up and down the paddock, especially the way the team has dealt with the allegations against him by suspending the complainant.

Yep, his name is mud. Everyone knows it and it must occupy the minds of many in the media to find ways of highlighting it without crossing a line.

Ted seems to have a talent for the casual throw-away remark which says a lot but doesn't leave him liable for anything biggrin

I think there's a bit of history between Horner and Ted. Obstructive would be preferable I think. While Ted comes over as affable and friendly, he stands up for himself.

I wonder if the 'checking his WhatsApp' was spur of the moment, or a carefully rehearsed ab-lib.

Didn't the Red Bull team completely ban Sky for a while for some perceived slight a season or two ago?

Yes, when Ted had the temerity to suggest on his Notebook that Hamilton was robbed in 2021, toys were ejected from the pram. Red Bull sulked for the entirety of the following race weekend and refused to talk to Sky UK. biglaugh

And yet... Horner still found the time to do the endless 'live from the pitwall' spots! It was always a pleasure to hear his entirely biased and BS view on every single incident..

Saw Horner walking down the pit lane yesterday, alone with no Gerri holding his hand as a show of unity. So sad.

So in her latest piece for Dior she calls herself Halliwell. Has she reverted to her maiden name?

Is there anything going on with this now? Seems not, so RB and Horner seem to have weathered the storm and very much business as usual. Even the whole MV leaving RB/ toxic environment/ other major pieces leaving have all died a death for the time being.

More likely got something to sell and wanted a bit of extra publicity.

There's been talk of a (another!) Spice Girls reunion concert for at least 12 months now so probably gearing up for that.
