F1 2024

At this stage, they really need to make something stick, or the potential for a defamation case is absolutely huge!

I dont see how he'd stay in his position now either way

 

[Jbridges522]

when are we expecting the outcome?

In other news

when are we expecting the outcome?

All anyone actually knows is an internal hearing is allegedly sometime today.

Haven't seen anything official about when there would a result. Or if/when there would be any announcement.

 

[DC.]

Hearing today with an announcement due next week.

Their car launch will be fun next week too lol

 

[stevyg]

I read that the hearing may go on for several weeks even until after the first race. Today was the first time Horner got to hear all the charges against him.

 

[svensktoppen]

I would imagine so, seeing it's apparently a formal HR process. But they probably also want to draw a line under it as soon as possible. So who knows.

The F1 paddock really is a giant chatterbox gossip party. A Dutch journalist who follows Max around "broke" the news about Horner. And Gasly, best mates with Charles, apparently knew about Lewis' move before Toto

 

[cauld1]

Let's face it, with Horner it's a case that it's an internal HR issue. There's not likely to be charges etc unless something really bad has happened.

I kinda do feel bad for Max. Surrounded by utter arses, be it his da, Horner, Marko or the in-laws

I don't think the launch will beat the person presenting introducing Danny Ric as Daniel Retardo

Question is, will Lewis be in a Ferrari for the first race in 2024? Boyo's on Collecting Cars podcast today had a good discussion about it all.

Doubt it given Carlos is in the Ferrari this year surely?

Has the podcast improved any? I found Ed quite hard to listen to.

 

[svensktoppen]

No he won't.

But who knows the way this season has started already

Lewis to Ferrari, Alonso to Mercedes, Saintz to RB to replace Perez, and Vettel making a comeback at Aston - all for the first race in two weeks

Personally, I think it's the best motoring podcast to date.

Must give it another go

Great interview with the highly impressive James Vowles, Team Principal at Williams F1.

 

[carmad.]

i am sorry but i laughed

 

[carmad.]

ok i know f1 but did you know this

I do listen to it every week but that a bit strong. Having said that the competition isn't great, so maybe you are right.
It's a little bit too public school boy sometimes for my liking.

The Intercooler would be a close second but other than that, I struggle with the rest. Like AutoAlex etc, garbage.

A number of cars launched already. Some, like Mercedes and Ferrari, seem like relatively radical upgrades. Whereas others, like McLaren, seem like more of an evolution of developments from last year.

They all have one thing in common - they all hope to be quicker, but nobody thinks they will touch RB Probably a bit of sand bagging there, but they are probably right. Catching up under the dev restrictions will be all but impossible. But hey, miracles can happen.

Main contenders so far. RB launch tomorrow.

They all look pretty good this time around, well the ones above. Merc and Ferrari especially.

Nobodies going to really know what the pace is until the first race though!

 

[carmad.]

as we all know car displays ect are just for sponsors / livery
but i do love it when the pack gets a chance to close up

 

[big_pete]

That Ferrari looks so good.

 

[cauld1]

Red bull launch was, ehh, something. Looked like a load of awkward people. DC being his usual RB sycophant employee and Horner talking about how wonderful all the staff are and how it's such an inclusive environment etc etc

 

[DC.]

Just anyone but Red Bull.

Another dominant season for #33 will kill it.

 

[svensktoppen]

The car is interesting though, they for sure haven't just sat back and relaxed. Big changes around the side and back. Never mind what can't be seen.

We shall see what's what soon enough. But it would be a brave person to bet against them running away with it again...
