Can't stand the fact RB are allowed a B team, but Torro Rosso/Alpha Tauri/whatever they're called this year deserve credit for a livery that isn't 90% exposed carbon fibre

and that there are other teams waiting in the wings to join F1

Rumour seems to be that the RB20 is almost identical to the RB19, so if any other team has made big developments, it may not be dominant.

Fingers crossed.

 

Alpine car is a complete redesign because they think they maximised performance from their 2023 one, but that could make it amazing, dreadful or distinctly average.

Sounds like Karen has been doing something he shouldn't have. "Inappropriate behaviour"...

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all part of an attempt to force him out, rumours of a power struggle behind the scenes since the owner passed away between Horner and Marko 

Maybe they need to be careful what they wish for

A Google search for Lando Norris Qatar returned literally zero hits apart from links to last year's race. Are you the only person who's aware of this one off race? 

I hope somebody has told Lando.

Horner cleared

Two things spring to mind, blimey that was a quick investigation and also a shame it went public as his name is now tarnished

TAKEN FROM: Christian Horner allegations: Red Bull team principal cleared of inappropriate behaviour - BBC Sport

Red Bull's team principal Christian Horner has been cleared following an internal investigation into his behaviour towards a female colleague.

Allegations of inappropriate and controlling behaviour had been made against the 50-year-old.

"Red Bull is confident that the investigation has been fair, rigorous and impartial," a spokesperson for the company said.

Horner, who has led Red Bull since 2005, denied the allegations.

The statement, which was issued by Red Bull's head office in Austria, added: "The complainant has a right of appeal."

Red Bull provided no details of the allegations or the investigation.

The statement said: "The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, and therefore we will not be commenting further out of respect for all concerned.

"Red Bull will continue striving to meet the highest workplace standards."

Red Bull started an investigation after details of the allegations emerged on 5 February.

The decision by Red Bull, which follows a meeting of the company's board of directors, comes after an eight-week investigation which became public early this month.

Earlier on Wednesday, at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton said the investigation was a "really important moment to make sure we stand true to our values".

The seven-time world champion added: "We always have to do more to try to make the sport and the environment people work in feel safe and inclusive, and any allegations have to be taken very seriously.

"It will be really interesting to see how it is dealt with and the effect it may well have on the sport."

How incredibly shocking that he has been cleared by an internal investigation and no details will be released. Wish I had  few of those brown envelopes lying around. Do I have to add allegedly?

As we don’t know any details, why is it shocking, independent barrister led this, maybe there was no case to answer?

Not every accusation made is genuine or valid, if it were why have any sort of legal system at all.

If it was a one off accusation (one incident) then why would it take long to investigate?
