I think the more important player is Mr. Newey. If he goes, so does RB's advantage. 12 constructors championships and 13 drivers championships - he is the difference.

It’s hard to know what is real or not but I had read that Horner may be out before the GP in OZ because the Thai group (majority stakeholder) is no longer backing Horner and will defer to the Austrians and whatever they want to do with Horner.
German tabloid trash.

I find most of the reports are just click bait with very little solid info. Most of what gets reported on a daily basis does not seem credible.

I will believe it when I see it.

I brief news rundown.

It is official. Massa is suing over the 2008 Championship.

https://www.autoweek.com/racing/form...-championship/


The Mercedes W15 is a hot mess. Lewis leaving appears to be a shrewd move.

https://racingnews365.com/mercedes-f...with-w15-wolff


Rumors are swirling that Renault may sell the Alpine F1 entry. They might as well because Renault management has no idea how to run it nor fund it.

I've corresponded with the gentleman in question.
His grasp of the F1 world is pretty solid.
Very well read, through all the European F1 press. There's a lot of it...

There is a really talented engineer over at RBR that I'm sure Mercedes would love to have who could probably figure it out.....

It's not entirely an internal matter as Jos is not an employee of RBR, but certainly has been omnipresent for years. It will be interesting to see if he shows up to any more races this year.

Maybe we should continue this thread as an F1 racing thread and start a separate one for the Horner RB nonsense. This kind of crap goes on in any workplace with more than 20 people - rumors surrounding flirtation, maybe some inappropriate advances or texts, maybe an affair, etc. Usually no one knows the truth except the people involved but everyone likes to speculate and take sides based on zero firsthand knowledge. I'm not sanctioning inappropriate behavior in the workplace, just noting that rumors are universal and none of here are in any position to know what, if anything, went on at RB. It's boring as hell in comparison to auto racing.

All the clickbait rumor articles and 'inside info' from a French guy on a Corvette forum are tiresome. I avoid this in my online feeds and would be nice to have the opportunity to not have to separate the wheat (racing) from the chaff on this thread.

Not trying to offend anyone interested in this; just a suggestion for a separate thread.
