Horner to get the sack?
Discussion
Just been reading that Horner was contacted by another team boss over the weekend. The conversation went something along the lines of, "sorry to hear the bad news, chin-up and all that".
In all seriousness though, isn't it more likely that the Red Bull owner would try a new team boss before walking away from the sport?

tz... Not the most likeable bunch are they! :-)Why should he get the sack? He is probably working overtime to get the team back to the front.
If the team's failure is down to him (since we're looking for a scapegoat here) then he must be responsible for all of the success too right?
Sacking people seems to be F1's answer to everything and it's the ultimate cop out.

I'd agree with that - although there is a massive ego problem at red bull however I don't think it purely stems from Horner...If the team's failure is down to him (since we're looking for a scapegoat here) then he must be responsible for all of the success too right?

Take away aerodynamic creativity and Adrian Newey will not build a great winning car.
His forte is exhaust blown diffusers. This didnt just start with the 2009 regulations but with all his leading and winning cars going back to the Layton House March of 1989.
His Williams had trick rear aerodynamics as did the Mclarens.
His peak expertise is exhaust enhanced rear end, better than anyone else.

Which begs the question how well he'll do with designing an Americas Cup yacht given that there's not much in the way of engine exhaust to use there His forte is exhaust blown diffusers.

Humm....engine exhaust - moving gas stream.
Wind - moving gas stream.
they are not slow boats:
The fastest race speed recorded was on Emirates Team New Zealand which was 47.57 knots (88 km/h, 55 mph) in 21.8 knots of wind (2.2 times the wind speed) on September 24, 2013
