Meanwhile. Lewis and George topped FP2. Max 6th, Checko 10th. Means nothing for race day I know, but….

Horner says he won’t comment on anonymous speculation. Notably he hasn’t said the messages are false. Just that he stands by the investigation which found no wrong doing. 

But as implied by Brown and Wolff earlier, we don’t know the criteria by which he was found to do no wrong by

Yeah I'm definitely more excited about tomorrow and Saturday after seeing Merc and others actually look semi decent in practice.

Of course, all that optimism will be reduced to dust when Max goes and gets pole by 0.8s tomorrow, and then steam rollers his way to victory on Saturday....

The RBR were heavily detuned and not opening their DRS for the straights. 

Anyway I’m here for coco pops becoming the new F1 meme. I wonder how many teams are scrambling to the expat shops to get some for tomorrow

Coco Pops?

Apparently Christian’s favourite

Remember the Red Bull catering budget overspend?

Coco Pops is obviously a coded euphemism for 'secret wind tunnel time'.

Some anonymous person has just emailed everyone in F1 a Google drive link with all the evidence against CH. 

 

Is the anonymous email address belmut.barko@gmail.com, by any chance?

"Michael, I sent you an email"

Turns out that Horner is a literal wet willy

So, if tonight’s shenanigans are to be believed, all this has been over some very cringeworthy texts he’s been sending to someone he shouldn’t have.

Hardly a large scale event on a professional level, although obviously huge within his family and he’s going to have to face those consequences. 

It’s almost like the media around F1 are already presuming the racing isn’t going to be worth talking about that much

Best comment on one of them Reddit threads was this one:

"The guy has zero rizz, £650,000 just to save himself from everyone in the paddock laughing at him having no game."

Made me howl, what a cock end the whinger really is....

Based on reddit and Bild (who are apparently happy to publish far more than the UK papers), the journalists have all been told they'll be sued if they publish any of it, and there are 79 screenshots in the bulk email that's been circulated. 

I haven't seen anything beyond the coco pops one but I'm sure it's all online somewhere if you want to find it.

Ironically enough, it would be something like the Coco Pops comment that could potentially nail him with regards to the missus wondering if it's true.......

I think he's far too arrogant to walk though regardless, I wonder if he's been done up in a honey trap? It's all very embarrassing for RB and the other shareholders though. I mean, I don't give a shit what he does in his private life, but someone will in this day and age.

So out of character for Christian Horner, that ;-)

By the simple expedience of googling ‘Horner coco pops’ I’ve found the screenshot of text exchanges.

Jesus, it’s tame.  Not exactly Les Liaisons dangereuses, more ‘awkward teenager texting a girl who’s not really interested’.

However, I’m conscious that there’s another 78 screenshots and that’s only one.

Christ, I hope he didn’t send the poor girl the picture from his Arden days of him astride the nose of his race car.

There was a moob and a blurry/slimy dick pick in the folder. 

So if Geri had doubts she will know now. 

Personally I think behaving inappropriately with your PA on a flight to Dubai then going to finish yourself in the toilets isn’t that innocent.

Hahaha, I hope someone heeds this, although as they're in Bahrain it'll be pricey.....

"If I was an F1 team boss, I would be getting one of team to go around Bahrain looking for every box of coco pops they could find and have all the pit crew eating them in the pits during the televised coverage."
