The motorsport thread

It’s also been reported that Mercedes management have authorised a pay out to Max’s exit clause, rumoured to be 100 million euros.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Horner ends up at the new Cadillac team. They need all the experience they can get

Absolutely massive call there by them.

It will be funny if Verstappen still leaves at the end of the season, after all that effort was made to get rid of Horner.

Saw a rumour that Mercedes had paid out his $100 million release…

Was it on sfcu?

Initially thought it was related to Verstappen in one way or another. Now a few pr and comms people gone too. Wonder if it is because they are Horner’s people, or related to Horner’s behaviour and the response to that. This is why f1 is the pinnacle of Motorsport

It’s the first time in Antonelli’s life that Horner hasnt been a principle

Horner also owned Arden Racing in F3000 between 1997 and 2004, the first two years of which he drove for them. So you could even argue its the first time in Max Verstappen’s life that Horner hasn’t led a team.

He did get the pick of the Spice Girls as well

Alpine is actually a good shout for where he will end up. Ferrari would mean uprooting his family or living away from them and he doesn’t speak Italian.

He’s good friends with Flavio apparently and Alpine headquarters is just down the road from Red Bull

More than a decent chance Horner could go a long way towards fixing the absolute basket case Alpine has been for years.

Soulless Spice?

While Alpine is the logical choice, how many have been seduced by the glamour, passion and style of the Scuderia, only to suffer soul crushing disappointment?

Gotta wonder if Horner couldn’t Ross Brawn it back into shape?

Yep, if I was the king dingalings at Renault I would be offering a pretty attractive package to him currently. Unprofessional wanker or not, he has the runs on the board

F3 race abandoned with no racing laps. F2 race cancelled. Will this be a repeat of 2021 when the F1 race gets washed out, too?
