2024 F1 General Discussion Thread

From some of the recent Red Bull footage, you can really see how big F1 cars have gotten since the RB1.

It is insane.

Smaller cars that couldn't get near each other. We had whole seasons without any notable overtakes. I'd take the current cars over that..... if they had v8 or v10 engines.

Rumors doing the rounds on SM that Horner will be resigning today!

Far too much reading into this going on all over the internet. Some saying that he's not in the Team Principle press conference means he's been sacked because, for the last 10 years the Team Principle for the constructors has been in attendance. Couldn't be that F1 don't want it to decent into a media circus or that they don't know if he will be sacked and wanted to have 4 team principles knowing they'll be at the press conference instead of being drafted in last minute

Rumours now stating Horner is cleared of any wrong doing. Full statement at 3.30

boards report that sky report that slater reporting that Horner may be clearly wrong 😂.

Reports on Sky now that he’s to be cleared of any wrong doing

Breaking on Sky that he's cleared of all charges

Grand, lets get on with actual things.

I've a feeling Horners management style rubbed someone up the wrong way and this is the end of it.

This is correct.

If DTS tells us anything (as if we didn't already know), its that the upper management of these multi-billion dollar business organisations, are replete with extreme Type-A personalities; just like investment banking, IT innovation, brokerage, medicine and many other activities.

Some people can't deal with working under that. If they cannot, it does not mean they are being abused, it just means they're not a good fit and should try something else.

I’m a bit disappointed in Brundle on Sky this evening, he’s saying “we gotta draw a line under it… but we need to know this and that… but draw a line under it….. once we know what happened” paraphrased of course!

The problem with having no details public (which is something I agree with) is the media start going mad because it’s a rare occasion where they’re not in control of the story.

You can see from the comments from other TPs like Brown and Wolff, and now Hamilton that they wanted to destabilise Red Bull as much as they could, regardless of the outcome.

That’s F1 though, it will always be like this.

Thank god we have an actual race this weekend. Back to business.
