2024 F1 General Discussion Thread

I see a few drivers (Alonso & Hulk) are drinking the Saudi kool aid posting renders of the proposed new Saudi race track blowing smoke up their arses, reminds me of a few footballers posting stuff about Saudi “winning” hosting the World Cup a few months back.

Lollllll.

This girl is going to retire early to the south of France courtesy of these stupid backstards.

If everything she said is a lie, and they suspect her of leaking fabricated information then this makes sense. If anything else is the case then red bull are playing a shocker and court cases will be next.

Leaking info whilst under an NDA you'd imagine is strong grounds. Who else but her could have taken the screenshots and saved onto a gdrive?

I don’t think an NDA can cover the convos that were leaked? Any NDA she would be under as an RB employee would be around leaking sensitive company info and these were clearly personal conversations.

The only way I would imagine an NDA being relevant is if she signed one specific to these texts and the leaked them anyway. If that’s the case, she’s foolish but it’s a terrible look for RB too.

But if she breached GDPR to get access to all the email addresses used to email the leaks too that could get her into hot water.

If its a work phone, it likely would be covered by an NDA.

Anyone else find it odd she had him as CH in her contacts?

Its a bit more professional than 'Sex Pest'

You'd surely think if RedBull are taking this action then they've strong evidence and have all their facts in order that there is wrong doing on her behalf otherwise it would be a complete publicity disaster if it isn't already. They are getting enough backlash as it is from social media and now the social media "content creators" are going after the drivers on the grid for nothing speaking up about it. I've seen Danny Ric getting slaughtered online for his response about the whole thing likewise with Stroll,Hulkenberg and Bottas

Looking forward to the Red Bull International Women’s Day posts tomorrow

Very interesting revelation today that the woman in question is dating Jos Verstappen. I'm not sure how long that has been public knowledge but what a mess. If the texts were genuine I doubt Geri would be hanging around but I find it strange that the woman was suspended today. That would lead me to believe her party leaked the texts and now she's been suspended by Red Bull as a result.

Here’s my summary.

Jos is being a complete knob. He always has been a knob going back to his own days in F1.

He has an inflated sense of his own importance, based of his gifting Max to the world. Jos really doesn’t put his son’s best interests ahead of his own. His penis is of more importance than his son’s career.

Max has a blind sense of loyalty to his father. This would seem to imply a need to impress a father who was largely cruel to his son in his early years and, I would suggest, continues to be. I find this a fascinating insight into Max’s character.

If Max leaves to join Mercedes it will be a triumph of Max’s misguided devotion to his father over logical reasoning.

Cristian Horner is ultimately a sad tosser thinks he’s god but has made the mistake that other people think so too. His marriage is under threat and he doesn’t seem to have even gotten a ride out of it. As a CEO, he should have known better than to be so indiscreet with an employee and particularly with one who was knocking off his star performer’s father.

It’s a ball of crap.
