I’m sure he’s genuinely hurt by it. Makes me sad for him 100% srs.
A man never comes back from those accusations 100%. Someone out there always doubts their innocence. It’s absolutely bull**** and there needs to be consequences for the accuser.

Interesting FP1 results. Ricciardo the quickest and Verstappen only 6th.

I wonder if the new 2nd red bull can actually fight for podiums at the start of the year.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Yikes, quali sims on softs from FP2 are in, Merc is 1-2....

Either RB is legit sand-bagging, or they can't get the setup right. Max has sounded annoyed about the car's behavior so far.

Edit: all the times from quali sim are .4 slower than last year's Q3, so maybe it all still means nothing.

The witch hunt continues

A Google drive containing all the “Christian Horner evidence” has just been emailed from an anonymous account to hundreds of journalists - https://x.com/JennaFryer/status/1763...315028852?s=20

In addition to journalists, it is sent to the other team principals, Liberty Media, Stefano Domenicali, and many others. The file contains photos of whatsapp messages and other photos.


Someone is really trying hard to destroy this man's life.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

I assumed this^ would be the next step.

Maybe the sloot involved wants to start her own clothing line or something LMAO.

[ProSaibot]

The chats were leaked. They are either fake or if they are real I can see why they didn't stand ground.

It is basically like flirting between two 16 year old dorks - not even sexting from what I saw. If this b1tch used this as sexual harassment evidence, then LOL

AI detector said the photos are 96% chance of being AI generated. I don't believe any of it.

They could easily be fake but there's no reliable AI detector out there brah. I don't even think the text messages looked like anything bad for anybody besides Miss Horner, so I don't see the problem anyway.

True

The text messages are likely true from what I've seen and the accuser is Fiona Hewitson, his PA.

It seems halfway consensual with the chick kind of backing off some of the time thinking she might lose her job if things go bad with this affair for which I get her but it is a typical woman moment to reveal PM to everyone thinking that this will save your career.

Also the leaked files has his dick pic inside (it is blurry AF) but you can recognize that it is a dingus. It is absolute horrid action that those files were send to everyone at the paddock and dozens of media.
B1tch is pure evil basically.


In the end it is just some shyt affair and is only bad for his wife.


SRS Never ever hire a woman.

Ever since F1 brought ''diversity'' and gheyness in the sport, it has been filled with absolute petulant drama

[Gringo12]

If they are real and were part of the investigation then how is horner allowed to stay on and have the investigation dismissed? Surely if it was this clear then they'd cut him loose. It's all very suspect

It’s very hard to believe they’re real.
They would have definitely been part of the investigation and there’s no way he would have been cleared. Not even Red Bull has the balls to risk that if the evidence inevitably went public like it (supposedly) did.
In a less PC, me too, liberal, LGBTABCDE world…maybe. But in today’s F1? No fking way they cleared him if that existed.

[Tuga88]

I haven't read the messages....what's like the worst one? I read a summary from someone on X saying it was just mild flirting?

It is mild flirting but chats are humiliating since he sounds like a dork a bit. IRL nothing that even a metoo would even care about although reddit inspectors will find talking to a women as illegal still

Most lol comment is him confessing to her that he finished off in the toiler in the plane to which she reacts normally which means that she likely rubbed her ass on the guy or jerked him off during the flight

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Max shifted to 1.95 to win quali so I scooped it up.

Easy peasy.

where are you looking at odds brah? fan duel has him +115

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Oh damn, I took the -105 last night on FANDUEL. Must have shifted again since then.

Literally free money IMO.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

The grid is tighter up to max than I expected. I still expect a wire-to-wire win for him tomorrow tho.

Red Bull has a car that's made for Sundays so being two tenths ahead in the quali is pretty big actually.

Tomorrow's podium prediction?

I have no idea about long run pace.... Expected Perez to qualify second, but that didn't happen.

I think AM might have some long run pace up their sleeve.

I'll guess

1. Max
2. Charles
3. Alonso

I dunno. I have that 1.87 MAX quali & race win bet still live, and a micro long shot bet on Ferrari to win as my insurance in case some chit goes down (unlikely lol)

Just hoping someone else has found a way to conserve tires this year so we don't have a complete blowout.

At least one Mercedes will be on the podium imo.

[Gringo12]

Very interesting quali, redbull and hamilton set up for the race.

Alpine being dead last makes me happy, absolute sht tier team. Piastri and alonso must be so fckn happy

HULLLLLKENBERGGGGGGGGGGG give that man the Mercedes seat and let him get a podium


Who will place higher in the constructors, Williams or VCARB? would be more interesting if sargeant wasn't kept around, dude is rubbish

Yeah I just read a few. There's literally nothing at all here. If anything it reminds of those like 16 year old geeks talking to a girl they like. This is just a female trying to extract money at this point.

But Christian should know better....to be sending flirty texts, he should always think it can be used against him. For sure his reputation is damaged for good now.


Race should be good today, pack looks very close. Laughing hard at Alpine, are they really going to be the worst team on the grid this year?

[Tuga88]

Is it still last season? Max already cruising out front lol. No worries for him.

At least Sainz is turning it up.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Lap 21 and Max just set fastest lap by a fking SECOND.
The Red Bull is yet again just in another league.
Perez also looks to be very comfortable and confident with the car too. If they can keep this up they’ll have constructors and championship locked up with 6-7 races to go lol.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Zhou had a great race. 17th to 11th in that ****box deserves some recognition. Thst car doesn’t belong near the top 10 at all.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Yeah this season is Max’s again.
Dude finished nearly 25 seconds ahead of Ferrari with zero effort and not pushing at all.

That’s…absolutely insane for the first race of the season.

[ProSaibot]

yeah, Ferrari made a blunder with sacking Sainz for an aging former champion.

Don't know how Hamilton will turn up against Leclerc but If he doesn't beat or match Leclerc, he will be quite the shyt investment with the amount of money they pay him just to be an older Sainz

If Hamilton keeps this up, there’s no fking way they don’t tell themselves “holy sht, we’re giving this washed up dude HOW MUCH?”

[R3L3NTL3SS]

JFC, they said Max would have lapped himself last year.
RB20 is a bad fking machine.
