Point of order.... wasn't it FH who was enjoying a bowl of coco pops, rather than Horner?
Was it..? I'm not prepared to trawl though the messages again, it's too uncomfortable.

I'll just take your word for it wink

Coco Pops remain the obligatory hotel cereal of choice (speaking as a 50-year old).

But only if the messages are genuine. There is no proof that they are yet.
Get real. We are way past that. That was settled on Friday and again yesterday.
From the horses mouth numerous times when he kept it shut after being asked if they were.
Imagine them being fake and CH not IMMEDIATELY (like in a nanosecond) saying so laugh
There's stupid, then there's REALLY stupid

Hilarious as it would be for JV to somehow make Max leave Redbull (Horner would then possibly be crushed by the stampede of other drivers wanting the seat) JV should be nowhere near the pit lane for various reasons, not least of which is that he is an utter scumbag.

Perhaps JV actually believes that it is Max's god given talent that makes him so fast and nothing to do with the car and that other teams would be queuing up for his signature?

As others have said, there are at least half a dozen drivers that would win the WDC in that car (Lewis, Lando, George, Charles, Carlos, Fernando, Danny Rik) Christ - if Redbull were to run only one car, Checo would win the WDC!

Maybe it is just a ruse to get Max a bigger payday, or maybe JV really has lost his mind over a woman and is about to destroy Max's career? Stay tuned folks!

Ah, so it was both of them who enjoy coco pops, I stand corrected!

Why on earth do so many of you think that whether JV should be in the pit Lane or not depends on his morality?
His son is racing, the team allows him to attend. End of.

He is perfectly welcome in the paddock, provided he acts suitably - even with his history.

What isn't acceptable is for him to repeat his habit of brutish behaviour and to manipulate the team. He's looking for power and control, which is fine if that's what he's motivated by in his personal life but there's no place for it Vs professionals that are actually employed, relevant and trying to run a team.

What sort of wker dad attends a party with his son and then threatens to take his son home early if someone he happens to not like doesn't leave? It's not his gig, it's not about him, he's there as a guest!

It's also starting to weaken Max's character imo. He's a superstar WDC, he shouldn't need Dad there to fight his battles.

Dad is only there because he wants battles to fight for himself, he's the sort of person that asks someone what they're looking at as an excuse to punch them regardless of their response.

It would do Max a lot of good if he could carry on winning without the distraction of his Dad constantly looking for a fight and acting as if he's the power behind the throne. In reality, Dad is a failed F1 driver living through his son.

Apparently it’s Toto

CH 8th and 2nd out of the current lot. Still up there.

Just shows how pointless some stats are. As previously mentioned Toto bought his way into a top team and rode the wave of unlimited budgets for several years.
Christian virtually built the team up from nowhere and will overtake many of those on that table in the next couple of years!

This whole saga is turning F1 in to a crap version of Eastenders. Embarrassing, IMO. Lots of respect for RB lost, what sort of stshow are they managing here?

Get Horner out, ban JV, and start acting like a multinational, professional outfit.
Apparently it's the sort of st show the FIA wish to keep together and carry on, given Sulayem's private request for Max to show unity.
I'm starting to think this whole bizarre stshow has been scripted for Drive to Survive and we can't know that because it has to look convincing... either that or JV, whose contribution thus far has been akin to that of a ranting lunatic, has properly lost his marbles.
The thought had crossed my mind as well. I wonder when Masi will show up?

Well the tabloids are not dropping the story: Latest is that Mrs Horny is furious with her husband, and she’s demanded he stop working with the complainant - which surely means at least one of them moving on.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13152621/...

Does that mean that, having turned down the alleged £650k settlement, she’s now going to be asked by someone at RB Corporate just how big the cheque needs to be?

I suspect we won’t be seeing Mrs Horny nor Verstappen Sr at the race this weekend. I woun’t be surprised if Horny himself isn’t there either, on the basis that he doesn’t want to be a distraction to the team.

If as it sounds more like we have 2 sides:

1) Horner and the majority shareholder
2) Jos, Marko and the minority shareholder

Max in the middle.

Neither side has enough power to win cleanly, but both sides so far seem determined to hold out.

Pretty certain Horner effectively had an unlimited budget compared to many other teams to get them to the top too.

You are making yourself look foolish. It's possible there was a breach, if you take those messages at face value. Fortunately, tribunals use a higher standard than that. There are minimum standards of evidence, and rules to ensure fairness for *all* parties. FH couldn't just pick a selection of messages, without timestamps, out of context, and expect that just to be accepted as evidence.
The tribunal will take whatever evidence there is and decide the facts on the 'balance of probabilities' (more likely than not). Evidence can include written and oral evidence from the parties. If one party submits only partial evidence the other side can submit their own or argue it isn't the full picture.

Funny how the PH mind hive has made it all about Jos the toss now and he’s the bad guy hehe

She’s looking like the team bike to me, happy to frap one off for the gaffer on those long, lonely fly away weekends. Consenting adults, fair enough.

Then her and Jos get more serious and they want to make it a little more exclusive.

Problem is, Horny Spice still fancies his weekend hand jobs and sexy video calls when Geri has to stay at home with the kids so keeps pestering her, wants to go back to the good old days when they could video call each other in the shower etc.

Jos takes umbrage, decides for once not to tt him (or her) and go legal on his ass and when that doesn’t work, runs to the tabloids.

If it does all go pear shaped, that Red Bull could be brought down by the team bike is hilarious but stranger things have happened. Never discount a man’s ability to think with his penis and not work out the consequences.

The thing I don’t get is screenshots were being taken when CH was typing and some of the dates were from 2021. As others have said, she is hardly the little girl simp, not if she has “survived” in F1 industry so long. I think she saved them for a break glass in emergency moment. Moving on she gets involved with JV and over a race weekend Premier Inn mixed grill JV mentions “if only someone had something on Horner”!
She pulls out here non RBR issued IPhone 19 and viola!
