The fact the Thai majority owners showed up in public support of Horner, says it all. He isn't going anywhere.

Finally read through the Google drive. I found it very underwhelming and boring. Guess I was expecting something more scandalous

So, here is the part I don't get. Why didn't she just block CH on What's App when she wanted things to stop?

Surely What's App isn't an essential or official means of communication for Red Bull?

Yeah . It actually looks like a bad soap

You know what's really scandalous ?

The mole , a criminal mole !
These days it Isn't really complicated to find the IP-address...
Won't take long before her/his or whatever A$$ gets busted...
Hopefully !

The latest gossip...

I have no idea what Jos is doing if all this is true....
It would be really bad to put Max on the spot and having to choose.
Especially as Max hates all the politics. All Max wants to do is race and spend the rest of his time with friends and Kelly and do things he likes. He's a normal guy, not a politician.

3 March 2024
The Red Bull Formula One team will "explode" if Christian Horner stays on as team principal, according to Jos Verstappen, the father of three-time F1 champion Max Verstappen.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said any complaint lodged with its compliance officer would be investigated but it had not received one related to Horner´s situation.

Verstappen arrested, charged with attempted murder
09 Jan 2012
Jos Verstappen has been accused with attempted murder following an incident with an ex-girlfriend.
....claims that Jos Verstappen has been charged with attempted murder following an altercation with an ex-girlfriend.
The Dutchman has a history of such accusations, having been found guilty of assault on his ex-wife in 2008 and of GBH following a fight with rival kart circuit customers in 2000. He did not serve a jail term in either case, but may do following the latest incident, in which De Standaard reports claim that he struck a 24-year old ex-girlfriend with his car, leaving her with 'heavy bruises and abrasions', before fleeing the scene.

Jos tells friends Max Verstappen could leave Red Bull amid Toto Wolff meeting
Jos Verstappen has told friends his son - Max Verstappen - could leave Red Bull following a chat with Toto Wolff.
While Wolff has played down the public meeting with Jos, speculation is rife that the reigning world champion is being eyed up as a replacement for Lewis Hamilton.
As quoted by F1-Insider, Wolff responded to questions about his chat with Jos after the race: “I have known Jos for 25 years – with ups and downs and I simply congratulated on his son’s achievement. Max is driving in a galaxy of his own.”
Wolff was then pressed about whether Verstappen could join the team, he replied: “Everything is possible.”

You must work for yourself or have a splendid boss. Good for you.

The rest of us can write books about dominating bosses. I had one that insisted I dropped everything to answer his call. Even if I was in the loo. He also put his hands on the cute women staff, and would knock on their hotel doors at odd hours. There was also the former Airbus ‘troubleshooter’ who would put his hands on women and men, and invite us to strip clubs. And the one that held staff meetings Fridays at 4:30pm. I have a bag full of those stories. Good luck telling them no.

[MontyB1]

And more, who has the power, Jos via Max or the dented and wounded CH?

Red Bull in danger of being torn apart.

Splendid bosses

HELL NO, I worked for the government and some real a$$holes. But, workplace ethics were never a problem. That kinda shit is one of the things they never tolerated and would get you fired / demoted in a heartbeat!!!!

Jos is overreacting, all he's doing is pulling on strings with nothing on the end of them. I agree with Artemis that Max ought to step in and tell his dad enough as frankly he is making a scene out of panic.

So you kind of answered your own question. In government, if a tool, procedure, process, etc, is not by the book, you can say no. In the private sector, bosses have tremendous power. If they want for you, or that woman, to use WhatsApp and reply 24/7, you either comply or get fired.

I tell you it's Mafialand in RB at the moment but not going to change anything, RB 1 & 2 all year

Sure Max is going to leave for what could be the 4th quickest car on the grid.

Horner has the majority Thai owner backing. He was standing with him pre-race on the grid and during trophy ceremony. Jos has zero power.

The only way Horner gets let go now, if the woman comes out of hiding and goes public. Does a 1hour special on tv crying the whole time. F1 would step in at that point.

i don't think it matters which car Max drives, he will still win. he won in 2021 when his car was much slower than Lewis'. whether his tactics were questionable is another matter, but he won.

but the bigger point to note is Max is not 12 anymore, i don't think Jos can tell Max who to drive for lol. that article is just looking for clicks i reckon.

The car matters very much. Max is not winning a championship in a Merc this year or next, no one would.

His car wasn't much slower than Lewis in 2021. Max had 10 poles that season.
