When they've been down it was before Mateschitz passed. What he said was the law and he had the people he wanted in the positions he wanted. After that there were many factions fighting and trying to make the others look bad. Cue Horniers txt messages, Max's team threatening to leave, Marko looking like he'd be fired, and Newey leaving for money when he didn't get his way. The smart technical folks saw the infighting and jumped ship to teams where they could step up in their career

Waiting for Red Bull to release a statement via an attachment named File-76.JPG.

If Mekies doesn't perform as well as he has been in RB, they should make Tsunoda CEO for a few races to get a comparison.

Red Bull gives you wings, right out the door…

Or that the owners are fed up with the car being bad, and scared max might leave and they would be the worst team on the grid.

I think Red Bull knew the allegations were true all this time but now with the teams shitty performance they probably felt like it was a good time to give him the boot.

No proof has been found that he was guilty, according to the court records. So unless new proof shows up from somewhere, this most likely isn't the case. It could be that RBR was keeping some proof away from the court case, which could be illegal, but that they now display it.

Personally, I am a bit careful with the accusations, since it wouldn't be the first time that somebody lied to get somebody else convicted for something. Women are always believed in cases like this, even when they lie about them abusing their male partner or whatever.

Or that first set was the tip of the iceberg and they're getting ahead of it?

Baseless speculation

Watch him show up at Aston with his mate newey

Exactly my reaction. I know things were a bit turbulent last year, but I wasn't expecting this right now!

Good timeline in case you need the background: https://www.independent.co.uk/f1/christian-horner-allegations-messages-red-bull-timeline-b2785446.html

Or the relationship between Helmut Marko and him have reached the inevitable boiling point. It is either Marko out or Horner. And Max is loyal to Marko not Horner or Red Bull. If they lose Marko they will automatically lose Max as well.

Yeah they probably can't terminate his contract immediately without some legal trouble or huge payout. So he'll be on their payroll for a while longer but not involved anymore.

Bwahaha, I'd hear the wailing in Italy from here in New Zealand
