Wasn't aware it had ? Thought Ford were behind RB during their trauma packed few months.

I had a complaint against a company, this pre-Covid. I put it on an email, sent it and waited for the result. About three weeks went by before I received their reply to the effect that they had carefully considered the evidence, and concluded they had complied with all internal and external laws, regulations and procedures. A solicitor friend told me to appeal, which I did, and then five weeks went by before I received an all but identical email. The brief said that if the two groups/persons enquiring into the complaint were given the same info, they'd obviously come to the same conclusion.
I was given a proforma to fill in and she sent it off. Three days later I was paid out and promised a bonus for 'inconvenience'. I still await their reply.
It wasn't much money, merely a subscription where they had renewed it without informing me and four weeks before the due date. They were, they suggested, unable to reverse the order as I'd already received the goods, despite no opening said programme two weeks before the expiry/stealing day.

Horney picked up his CBE for services to motorsport today.
Good for him. Richly deserved - built a multiple World Championship winning team and kept them at the top. RBR employ around 800 people, many of which are very skilled engineers. You might not like him, but he's a far more worthy a winner than all the political honours for croneys that demean the entire system
Congratulations to him. Very well deserved in my view.
In a sport where almost everyone at the top has baggage, he is the longest serving team principal, has played a significant role in bringing a large number of jobs to the UK and shepherded two 4x world champions under his watch (something no other team principal has done) within the Piranha club and manufacturer teams. This is an amazing achievement.
No-one is squeaky clean in F1 and successful and there is a debate to be had on the line between sport and business but within the arena he has been fighting, Horner has been incredibly successful and I am delighted to see it recognised.

Perhaps the last of the great Team Principles to have built / rebuilt a team classic / textbook mould. There's James Vowles but he's a baby in terms of years put in as TP. These days TP is seen as another layer of management.

Let Newey go to a rival team
Lost other key personal
Lets not even get started on the business at the start of the season
Along with Max both are thoroughly unlikable
