Horner said AN dislikes regulation changes.

AN said he enjoys regulation changes.

All in the same piece.

CH can't help himself, his default position is to lie.

The RB PR this weekend was entirely designed to show happy unity and low risk of problems down the road. The Newey Brundle interview, Mintzlaff saying Horner's the best man for the job etc.

It's PR for public consumption and should be taken as such.
Yes, apart from the fact a Horner interview directly contradicted Newey. Horner said regulation changes stress him out. Newey said he loves them.

I know which one I believe.

Indeed. Probably some not so subtle way to suggest that there's really no chance he'll go to Ferrari... Which he wants the world and his colleagues to believe for now, as Newey going to their closest competitor just makes his fk up by losing Newey in the first place all the more awkward.

So insulting he thinks the rest of the world is stupid and can't tell he's chatting st.

Yep. Horner is the kind of guy if he says it is daytime, I’d look out of the window to check.

Even a genius like Newey is incapable of rescuing United.

I may have joked on the Horny thread that if he could accept the massive pay cut, and wanted to find himself among a bunch of like-minded people, perhaps he might want to stand for Parliament?

1200 announcement by Ferrari doing the rounds on socials.

We’ll see how accurate that is.

I think Lewis's terrible poker face in last week's press conference was all but confirmation of this! Will be amazed if it doesn't happen. I really feel F1 needed something like this to provide some anticipation for the future. It's felt very rinse and repeat for a long time now.

I guess there's several hundred employees in Marenello that frequent the local bars and restaurants often enough, must be tricky to keep something they all want to talk about secret..

I can't see it being announced today espically after Newey was saying last weekend he fancies a break.

It'll be during the 2nd half of this year.

Well he's definitely checked out.

"Moved to other projects" i.e. is on gardening leave

It's the gelateria closest to the factory where there is a queue of workers at the end of shifts, but this kind of thing will be so closely guarded and way above their pay grade. The gelato is amazing though!

My guess is when they are ready to make the big "Newey" announcement, it will by more than a social media post on a Friday lunchtime.
