Sounds like Horner is being cleared of any wrong doing, according to Sky F1 channel.

Disappointing

I think it's good that a line is drawn under it before the season has started, whatever the outcome.

This has not aged well

Ironically, if only Christian had pulled out.....

Would you really - I wouldn't - But it does make you wonder if 2 will become 1

i've read the whole dump now. He's toast, both professionally and his marriage. For me there's definite pressure coming from him, he cannot be in the position he is and also unaware of effect that has on one who works for him. He even mentions her leaving RB and she says she doesn't want to. I've never liked him but the messages are creepy as hell to me.

Can see a Spice Girls reunion tour/new play list - 2 becomes 1 - Goodbye - Who do you think you are - 

But don't think 'spice up your life' will be valid now

If anyone has seen the video of him singing American Pie, I wonder if this will be his next performance

Similarly after Geri leaves

Out or whitewash?

They could always ask Renault.

I’d be willing to bet Horner will never return to the pit wall

I appreciate you taking the time as I wasn’t going to. If it’s that obviously coercive, then how do RB handle this now? They can’t sack him today after clearing him and they can’t let him stay. So if he won’t fall on his sword with a “I maintain my innocence but I can’t have my personal life harming the team” type spin, then what? 

Can the FIA bar him for bringing the sport into disrepute?

More evidence has been leaked.





Even Donald Trump has weighed in...



Damning evidence, I'm sure you'll agree.

does this also raise questions about how RB conducted their enquiry?

One thing I've learnt from this thus far, no-one knows what's coming next!

Strange that Ford/Toto/LH/etc all claim to be concerned by CH's alleged treatment of a woman and all want it cleared up toot sweet.

All while wanting to get maximum $pon$or benefit in two countries which literally treat women as second class citizens.
