So you exercise prejudice on a regular basis? Or is just for the boss of RB F1?
Prejudice is an opinion not based on reason, so it wouldn't be prejudiced to not give someone the benefit of the doubt if they have a long history of telling lies like Christian Horner.

I can google the first meaning of prejudice too, thanks mate.
But given countless number of individuals across the paddock have been found to have lied, time and time again.
For the user to then state they only judge CH because of it, is a form of prejudice.
 
I've seen various quotes about D pix being sent.. Anyone seen any reputable sources suggest that?

It's from Bild, see my earlier post on this

Calling for resignations based off of stories and an investigation which is not completed or final hearing complete, sounds sensible.

Who has called for resignations? People have said he will have to resign if the allegations are substantiated.
 
Shock as people have 'prejudicial' dislikes of people who exhibit behaviours and attitudes that are unlikable :p
Well the only reason given was because of his "lying", which is hilarious as every driver and TP has been caught lying multiple times.

That's great news. Shame it is a very expensive Grand Prix to attend.
I'd love to go Silverstone but it is bloody pricey.
I'm going Abu Dhabi this year, purely because I am in the area for work and it ends up cheaper than Silverstone.
 
I think Marco is involved in this, CH is the RBR team boss but he's always had Marco over looking his work which has lead to a power play between the two of them,

Marco recently had an extension to his contract and said he'll be at every race next year... i don't think he said that just to show his love for RBR,
i think he said it to annoy CH even more, Marco sees himself as the boss even though CH has that title,

Will be interesting to see what these allegations are and who they came from
 
Before all this, Christian probably dreamed a dream of a lovely send off when he finally left F1, thanking him for his time, walking out onto the grid for a final time, worshipped by crowds and TV channels lapping it up with multiple interviews. Banners draped from the towers, a presentation party with a big trophy for long service to the team and a Netflix documentary titled "Christian Horner: The Legacy".

That he may quietly leave forever with nothing of the sort, will no doubt fill many people with deep satisfaction that karma did its thing. I would expect his ego would be crushed as he comes to term with the vile human being he is and how he will not be given airtime anymore. Even better if it comes out that he has done bad things, as then we might have less of a chance of getting plastered with all the Sky Sports medleys of Horner's achievements over the years.

"Even better if it comes out that he has done bad things"

Surely either he's done bad things and he loses his job, or he hasn't done bad things and keeps his job

Why would you say "even better if he's done bad things" when you're already predicting his downfall from the alleged allegations ??

I don't understand your question.
I meant to say that if he has done bad things, Sky and all, will be less likely to then give airtime showing videos of the past of say Christian smiling with Max over his paper 2021 championship win etc.

That makes more sense than your first post i quoted,

Your first post came across as saying CH will be gone very soon as there's been allegations.. and it would be "even better" if he's done bad things, which kinda makes no sense as he either has and loses his job or hasn't and he stays
 
People who are thinking this will be the last we see of Horner are, I think, mistaken. Remember Flavio made his way back onto the grid after getting his driver to crash in order to rig the race.

Perhaps reports are off and Horner is guilty of far worse than has been suggested so far, but I think - based on reports, and if true, etc. - it's more likely he'll be gone for a few years before making a return.

Well actually according to reports, RB management (unclear at what level) have advised him to resign, and he has refused. So it's a little more than joe public getting wind of ****pics and clamouring for his head.

Refer to @Malt_Vinegar's post. There's plenty of reasons to dislike him.

I meant people in this thread, since that seemed to be who was referred to. Personally I think that if the report he was asked to resign is true, it's because the management in RB proper have already seen enough to convince them.

Yeah. Despicable cheat wasn't he. I don't get why cheaters aren't banned for life. We have snooker players as well that have been caught match fixing, still playing today. Ivan Toney in the premier league as well with gambling ban served and now he's back. Maybe Horner will still have a mutual appeal with some people in the future. Netflix. Women he finds more attractive than his current wife. That kinda thing.
 
Do you guys have nothing better to do? The hearing is tomorrow, just wait till we have more information.
I kinda wish there was a ban on media reporting on allegations until after the internal investigations are finished or unless one side decides to go public and make a statement earlier.

IIRC Flavio was banned for life from being a team boss, but was able to get back onto the grid as he's Fernado Alonsos manager
