This sounds so fishy.

Despite conducting their internal investigation and considering the matter closed, Red Bull have refused to name the lawyer involved or explain why the decision to dismiss the complaint was made.


All this palace intrigue doubled if one is to believe the I-saw-it-indirectly-from-an-Italian-F1-Site:
As per FormulaPasssion.IT, the news has now emerged that Christian Horner along with some wealthy British Investors, has been working with the Thailand 51% owners of Red Bull to buy the Red Bull F1 team, and the Mark and his fellow Austrians, who own only 49% are furious.


This site has most of the imbroglio: https://thejudge13.com/2024/03/05/th...ull-f1-racing/

I think there was *something* inappropriate. However, we just don't know, and thanks to NDAs, may never know.

Probably deserves it's own thread, but Newey is reportedly leaving RBR - https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/cmm3v9ny78eo

I'd be shocked if Newey went to Ferrari, more shocked than Lewis going there honestly. I'd bet Stroll and Toto are trying to throw piles of money at him, just can't see him going to Italy at 65, more likely 67 due to gardening leave etc.

I guess we'll see.
