Maybe the entire company is in trouble. There's something going on inside the company that's driving this. The Horner mess was designed to destabilize the team, and seeing everyone at each other's throats shows how well that has worked.
Marko’s biggest role is as head of their driver development program/junior academy. He signed Max to the team when he was starring in Euro F3.
I'm sure they're out there but I don't recall seeing a woman drinking Red Bull.
Right now Marko's biggest roll is surviving so Max doesn't leave.
Waitaminute? There appears to be a case of sexual harrassment, but it 'would probably be fine' if someone else would just quit talking about it? Does that come under 'sweeping under the rug' or 'shooting the messenger'.
The charges were dismissed, so as far as Red Bull is concerned, that's the of end it. Everybody go back to work, including Jos.
Jos could very well blown up Max' ride at Red Bull, so even Jos too would be better off if he just let it go.
Not Red Bull the team, but the parent company. Just wait and see how this works out. This is a power struggle in the wake of Mateschitz' death.
Cause that always means their innocent.
I'm far more inclined to believe her than a bunch of power players who want to sweep things under the rug and that you seem more than willing to let happen, as you have dismissed valid concerns about behavior towards women multiple times.
2008???
Only like two years ago Bernie admitted he knew before the season was over.
What more would you have Red Bull do other than fire a guy who was exonerated by their own investigation?Cause that always means their innocent.
Why would you believe anything before there's any proof on the table? I'm willing to let the process play out. Let's not pronounce people guilty until a court of law says they are. If that happens it's an entirely different matter.
Yeah, but now he is saying he has no recollection of saying that.
It's entertaining in a train wreck sort of way.
In fairness, the racing hasn't been very good for a couple of years now.
The racing at the front has not been that good, but the mid and back field battles have been pretty entertaining.
It's been OK at times, but we've also had new terms cooked up to describe the events on track like "DRS trains". This is not a golden era for F1 regardless of the money flowing into it and the attention it's getting.
You have to go a log way back to find a time when one team was not dominating......2009 or so. Before that we had Schumacher domination, Prost/Senna Mclaren domination, Williams Honda domination and......you get the idea. If you're going to watch F1 you have to accept you're not going to see a cracking battle for the win. You have to look for other things like the midfield and back marker fights because now days Max is simply going to disappear when the lights go out, and it looks like Checo is going to go with him.
Again, I understand that there's been many seasons with a dominant team. I've been watching since I was a pup in the 80s! But I also don't recall a period of time in history when F1 cars were completely unable to pass each other at Spa regardless of being at the front, middle, or back of the field. Definitely can't recall a period of time where everyone was between 0.6 and 0.8 seconds from each other in a line at Spa lap after lap after lap for that matter. I'm just using Spa as an example because, well, it's Spa, it's a track we all know is low downforce and has produced fantastic racing for literally generations now.
The FIA left too many loopholes in the regulations and the teams clawed back a lot of downforce and created a lot of turbulence. When the new cars came out they were very racy, but they have gotten too turbulent again.
You just have to readjust your sights. The racing at the front is not very good, but behind the Red Bulls it's pretty intense. Years from now Red Bull's accomplishments will be legendary, so I don't want to miss out seeing that kind of history. I'de love a good battle for the win, but since that doesn't look likely, I watch for other things like who is succeeding or failing in the mid and back fields. Let's be honest: Everything behind Red Bull is midfield, so adjust your sights to that and you can avoid some disappointment. Nowadays I keep my eyes on the third place battle because 1, 2 is locked up.

From the movie The Negotiator "why are you investigating a fraud that you're part of?
Ben Sulayem cleared of wrongdoing after FIA investigation
I saw some screenshots of what qualifying gaps looked like during the early years of the turbo hybrid era and it was jarring to remember how quick the Mercedes were at the time - much, much bigger gaps at the front of the field than there are now, and the back of the field usually had one or two wanker entries (Caterham, Marussia, etc.) that wouldn’t ever be close to competitive. In that sense, the grid now is a lot more compact than it had been maybe ever. But reliability is so strong nowadays you rarely see power unit failures, and there’s little to no prospect of Max and Checo taking each other out like a Prost/Senna or Rosberg/Hamilton. F1 badly needs another unhinged race or two just to shake things up and keep things interesting for a time. Too many of these races play out too straightforward right now.
Before you had to be in the "club" to see it. Always has been this way, but now it's out in the open for everyone to see.
