The bottom line is Ferrari don’t really know the capabilities of Sainz or Leclerc, both are good yes, but Verstappen, Hamilton even Alonso level, yet to be proven.
I’d love it if we’re all still talking about Lewis in a Ferrari and he quietly wins this years WDC
De Telegraph reporting Horner is under investigation for inappropriate behaviour to a member of staff. No details on what inappropriate behaviour but being investigated by an outside lawyer.

RB spokesperson:
"After the company was informed of certain recent allegations, an independent investigation has been started. This process, which is already underway, is being carried out by an external, specialized lawyer. The company takes these matters very seriously and the investigation will be completed as quickly as practicable. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”

I'm so glad they mentioned they were installing a heatpump for their swimming pool in that article. It's really helped clear things up. Maybe this technology could be used instead of the tyre warmer ban. "submerge in hot water before use trackside".
I think you may be right. Hamilton is also perhaps in a position where traditionally he was viewed a young, slightly edgy individual that would appeal to certain demographics, but is now in an awkward period where if he's not careful he looks a bit like a grandad on a nightclub dancefloor; a sort of middle ground where he's trying to live a hip and trendy lifestyle with all his interests outside of F1, but (rightly or wrongly) doesn't have the same appeal and credibility with under-25s that he once did.
My first thought was that they were beating Checo to help motivate him.
Has Horner been a naughty boy?

Marko probably didn't appreciate Horner trying to screw him at the back of last year by pushing him out and has retaliated!
Wouldn't put it passed Marko - wild that he still holds his current position.

Shock as man who left his wife with a 6th month old baby for a Spice Girl, that he was also allegedly mingling with whilst wife was pregnant might have some skeletons in the closet regarding his behavior.
Nothing but respect for what he has achieved in the sport, but he is not exactly a role model imho.

It's the Schrodinger role at Red Bull. He has both huge and no influence at Red Bull, depending on how much **** he's talked himself in to.

I hope he hasn't done anything dodgy, for the womans sake but also because F1 needs villains and he's an excellent villain.

you've edited you post with a new link. I'd not seen any article that mentioned a women making the allegation until now, hence the question.

Read the article. It's quite clear about who (not specifically who) has made these allegations.
