Red Bull investigate Horner for inappropriate behaviour.

I would agree if they can trace the leak to Fiona. I mean, I personally think the texts are real. At the very least Horny tried to get her to agree to allow him to rub his magic lamp while talking to her. That's in of itself is not wrong as long as there is no power dynamic. Hell, if Christian went to Leclerc himself and said, is it cool if I call you tonight and choke the chicken? Number 16 says, nope, don't ever ask again. I got no problem with that, as long as Christian, doesn't ever asks again.

What happened was after Fiona said stop, Christian then blacklisted her. Going as far as not having her work near him. Great if she is a mechanic, not so good if her job is his personal assistant.

 

It's a storm in a teacup !

 

At least Jos should lose access to the Red Bull pit !

 

You're both absolutely right, and apologize for my redundant post. I missed the original comment. Thank you both for letting me know.

Andrew, could we merge my thread with the thread above, due to duplicative content.

Kindest regards.

 

Absolutely, what's also disturbing is it seems many would like to keep that dynamic forever.

Look no further.

I guess simping stops when it's your wife, mom, sister, or daughter. What's truth is certain folks 'need' to keep it that way, not realizing the net' makes this sort of bottom feeding completely unnecessary. I turned down a girl in Australia that asked me to do this last week. I do benefit from the 90/10 rule, so there's that too.

 

All this drama makes Hornyer look like a bumbling teenager and Jos look like the epitome of class and gentleman hood. Ohhh wait no, quite the opposite for Jos. As if he were respected before. Lol

 

IF Jos lost access to the Red Bull pit, that would answer whether he was involved or not.

 

Which texts? I can only handle so much teenager speak in one day...

 

In the TP press conference Horner was bombarded with questions regarding the saga. He himself brought up the leakage saying something along the lines if it's only got so much attention because of the leakage and tension that has be drawn in the media.

Given he brought up the leakage suggests there was in fact a leakage and thus the screenshots would have to be real.

 

Where's there's smoke, motor oil is burning.
**********
Horney: "The reality is that there was a grievance raised, it was dealt with in the most professional manner by the group, that appointed an independent KC, one of the most reputable in the land.

"He took time to investigate all the facts. He looked at everything and he came to a conclusion where he dismissed the grievance.

"As far as I'm concerned, as far as Red Bull is concerned, we move on."

Red Bull has refused to name the lawyer involved or give any insight into the report compiled, or explain why the decision to dismiss the complaint was made.

hmmm

Honda:
"We do not have full details on the matter at this point, therefore Honda are not in a position to make any detailed comment. We look forward to full clarity as soon as possible."

Ford:
“We are likewise frustrated by the lack of full transparency surrounding this matter with us, your corporate partners, and look forward to receiving a complete account of all findings.”

Look, I'm just calling for transparency. What ever happened to we report, you decide?

Can't decide until I see the report.

 

Larry H Parker indeed got Cedric 2.1 million, didn't make him grow his legs back though.

 

i guarantee you this is a big big deal to Spice Wife.

 

Enjoy!

Are these school girl antics? Absolutely.

Am I engaged in it? No doubt

Why?

Cuz I'm a Ferrari investor (as well as a fan), and while some will say we shouldn't win 'this way' - Tell that to Horner 2021 final race, hell Mohammed Ben Sulayem trying to influence the refs. I want to see both go down. This will piss off Max Red Bull fans, why wouldn't it - I understand, if Vasseur was caught trying to ask Silvia Hoffer to watch him pet the monkey, I wouldn't expect any different from them.

To me, any disruption at Red Bull is good. Schadenfreude on my part? You betcha.

You can't buy Red Bull shares on the open market, I've always been a special sort of 'sports fan.'

Regional tribalism isn't enough for me, I need a 'personal' stake as well. Some folks do this with gambling, season tickets, but with me, yeah - a special sort of gambling I guess=

“You must pass the bill before you read the bill”

 

I mean, it's perfectly natural to milk the cow, just not with your personal assistant when they ain't game.

Just FYI, Fiona Hewitson worked for years in the IndyCar world prior to Red Bull.

 

Fiona asks him to stop asking if she can help him burp his baby, Horney says yes but then pulls a quid pro quo by no longer allowing her to be his PA.

She was/is good friends with Scott Dixon’s wife, Emma Davies.

 

She's suspended.
Horner's been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Red Bull will NOT have any public statements ("respect for the parties involved, etc").
And yet you guys are still reading week old stuff probably written by AI.
Wow

 

For sure, at the very least Horney wanted a listening partner while he calls in the Secret Service.

I'm not Catholic/Protestant/Non-Denominational, so I don't judge folks tapping the Sheriff, and waiting for the posse to come, I think we all agree the line is crossed when you pressure somebody to listen or watch you wax the Buick.

 

You could definitely be right, great thing is internet is forever, me thinks we'll find out sooner rather then later if Horney pressured this poor girl to watch him climb the Nouvelle Chicane

 

I'm hoping with things like F1 academy and the general direction of things, people pressuring their employees to watch them test their batteries becomes a thing of the past.

 

Good point, and I would generally agree.

But the key thing though is 'with pay.'

I mean, I'm a red blooded male that shakes the sauce before opening, but it's not cool for pressure anyone to watch you change your oil.

If she is lying, she deserves to be sued - that's how Johnny Depp got his reputation back. Simple. Something tells me Christian Horney won't do that.

If they keep this secret, always some possibility Horney pressured her to watch him adjust the antenna.

"Choke the chicken" is really more of an idiom, but yes, all hail the champ!
