It was a perfectly reasonable decision by FIA to investigate the suspected Toto/Suzie COI, it would happen to anyone suspected of this by them and the investigation 'cleared' them, I think she's overreacting in suing FIA with some kind of a revenge reaction.
Horner was cleared of the coarsely jocular accusation against him and has no qualms about using revenge on anyone. Last edited by M5Rick; 03-22-2024 at 07:32 AM.. |

How would you react ? Would you assume that some folks tried to screw you and to tarnish your reputation ? Wouldn't you be interested to know who was involved ? Susie Wolff (Dec 2023): "However, this episode has so far taken place without transparency or accountability. I have received online abuse about my work and my family. I will not allow myself to be intimidated and intend to follow up until I have found out who has instigated this campaign and misled the media."

I have not been on this forum for a few weeks and much to my dismay when I returned to day I found out that this is now now the Christan Horner Corner. It the first page of texts I did not see BMW mentioned once. If this is the direction that you old gossips wish to turn then I don't need to remain here.

Maybe no booze or prescriptive or recreational substance use were involved at all, but the individual simply demonstrating that he seems not being the sharpest tool in the shed. But Jean-Marie Balestre, one of his illustrious predecessors, would say: "Hold my beer !"

On the other hand, you have Ham who cant drive for shit if the car isnt exactly to his liking and we are seeing how well he does when the team rebuilds the car scratch to suit his specific wants because they didnt listen to him in the prior 2 years - the car is more garbage now than it was in 2022 and 2023.

Ham was threatened by Max's talent early on. He knew if Ros could beat him that Max would for sure since Ros was never actually that good. Max isnt worried about anyone being faster because there isnt a faster driver on the grid. It's funny that people talk about Lec being fast over 1 lap, but Max has ~50% more poles and knowing he doesnt set his car up for quali (when Lec does) but for the race tells you his ability to extract everything in quali in a suboptimal set-up is supreme. And we all know there isnt a driver as fast in a race, or one who manages tires better or is as consistent as Max lap after lap. Last edited by HeelToeShift; 03-22-2024 at 09:11 AM.. |

Also his versatility is intriguing: in sim racing he prefers racing GT cars, LMP2 cars and F3 cars instead of a Red Bull F1 car. All those different driving styles and techniques and endurance racing may also improve his real world F1 driving skills and prepare him for a future real-world Le Mans career after he retires from F1 after a possible 8th WDC.

BIMMERPOST Universal Forums > Professional Motorsport Racing Discussion (IMSA, DTM, Formula 1, Grand-AM, Le Mans, IRL, WRC, etc..) > Horner in trouble at RedBull You visit a big shopping mall and you decide to enter a lingerie shop. Are you genuinely surprised to see, much to your dismay, lingerie everywhere inside that shop and that you hear, equally much to your dismay, folks over there mainly talk and gossip about lingerie (especially when something about lingerie is making headlines worldwide) ? If you want to discuss BMW in professional motorsport racing, feel free to create a new thread or to participate in existing dedicated threads dealing with the topics of your preference.

Dont disagree, but my point was more that even though his setup is strictly done for the race, while consciously sacrificing lap time in quali, he overwhelming beats Lec to pole when Lec is setup for precisely for quali pace. It is down to driving talent, and ability to take a race setup car and still beat the guy who specifically set his car up to win quali and only quali. Ultimately, Max is still the fastest guy over one lap or the race is how I see it.
