A noisy theatre is going on, but I think the only person whose absence would materially affect Red Bull's performance is Adrian Newey....

As they say blood is thicker than water. If RB is the one saying he (his Dad) can't come that could prove to be a huge mistake.

I fondly remember watching John Button in the pits watching Jenson over the years, and the response when Jenson won his first race, and then the WC. Of course I've always been a big Jenson Button fan but I see something entirely different with Jos, unfortunately...

Is Stefano Dominicalli the only one that doesn’t have any stink on him this year??

The happiness person has to be Conor Moore. Who has more fodder for skits than he knows what to do with so far this year!

You could see this coming a mile away. He approved Andretti and thinks there should be more teams. He basically got put in his place by the teams when they voted to not include Andretti. He's been going on recently about having more teams and fewer races. I'm sure both F1 (Liberty) as well as the teams are livid with this impacting their revenue (they have to make more with more events and TV coverage and marketing). Simply, he's been on the side of decisions that cost people money. Not going to find too many supporters with the teams and the commercial rights holder taking positions like that... I'm actually surprised there hasnt been more opposition to him that we have heard of or in the media.

Difficult to have a true election whereby a person with a Motorsports history gets elected, when apparently all manner of individuals from countries that basically don’t have any history of a racing culture get to vote; as in the last election for FIA President.

Jos has always directed little Maxi's career.
Of course he wants to be the RB team principal. From his background, it might be suspected that he set up the whole Spiceboy sexting scandal.
Hell, those are probably pictures of his d*ck on her phone.

And next week on Dynasty....

And what if the mountain of "evidence" was all created by ChatGPT, wouldn't that be something! I think it's interesting that Horner actually used a clause from his contract to force the independent investigation which ultimately proved him innocent and kept his job. If this really does turn out to be a slander case without real facts Horner is going to crush them all in court...

I predict nothing will come of this with RB and life will go on as usual with Christian Horny. Jos will be told to STFU.

I am in violent agreement with you. All the more reason that I'm surprised that the knives havent come out for him more and earlier

He's run off really good upper echelon FIA officials. That's a lot of brain drain from a group that needs all they can get.

This is better than anything that is on TV!

Jos as team principal is the funniest thing I ever heard. I’m sure Red Bull, you know the one that pays the bills, would even remotely allow that to happen.

Nothing will be different for Jeddah. There’s no time to do any updates. If Max gets his 5 second gap, he will just cruise to victory.
