Internal investigation against Red Bull team principal Christian Horner​

In a move that has sent ripples through the Formula 1 community, Red Bull Racing have confirmed the initiation of an internal investigation targeting their team principal, Christian Horner. This probe comes in light of severe allegations of inappropriate behavior levied against Horner by a staff member, prompting immediate action from the upper echelons of the Red Bull hierarchy. The allegations against Horner, whose leadership has been pivotal in steering Red Bull Racing to numerous Formula 1 successes, emerged amidst the high-profile setting of the Hahnenkamm ski race in Kitzbuhel.

This event, renowned for attracting the who’s who of the Formula 1 world, including notable figures like McLaren’s Zak Brown and Mercedes’ Toto Wolff, reportedly served as the backdrop against which these serious claims surfaced. Responding to the situation, Red Bull has taken swift measures by engaging an external legal expert to spearhead the investigation. The organization stated, “Following the recent allegations coming to light, the company has launched an independent investigation. This process, which is already underway, is being conducted by an external specialist lawyer. The company is taking this matter very seriously and the investigation will be finalized as soon as possible. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”

In response to the allegations, Horner stated: ‘I completely deny these claims.’ This statement underscores Red Bull‘s commitment to a thorough and unbiased examination of the accusations, emphasizing the gravity with which they regard such matters. While the specifics of the allegations remain under wraps, the initiation of an external investigation highlights the potential severity of the situation and Red Bull‘s intention to uphold its ethical standards.

Christian Horner’s future at Red Bull?​

The Formula 1 community watches closely as this situation unfolds, with the outcome of the investigation potentially having significant implications for Christian Horner‘s future with Red Bull. As the investigation proceeds, the principle of presumed innocence until proven guilty remains paramount. However, this development undoubtedly casts a shadow over Red Bull‘s preparations for the upcoming Formula 1 season, during a time when unity and focus are crucial for success on the racetrack.

As details continue to emerge, fans and insiders alike await further updates on the investigation’s findings and any subsequent actions that Red Bull might take. The implications of this inquiry extend beyond the immediate parties involved, touching on broader issues of workplace conduct and the mechanisms in place within Formula 1 teams to address such serious allegations.

In the high-stakes world of Formula 1, where the performance on the track is often mirrored by the drama off it, this investigation into one of the sport’s leading figures marks a significant moment that could influence the operational dynamics within the Red Bull Racing team and potentially reshape its leadership structure.

F1 confirm HISTORIC rule change for the 2024 season​

Formula 1 have agreed a new rule that will change the way DRS is used in a race in a massive shake up for the sport. The drag reduction system has been in use since the 2011 season, and has allowed for more overtaking opportunities, particularly at tracks that include two or more DRS zones. The system of only being able to use DRS on the third lap of the race if the car in front is less than one second ahead has often been a blessing for the driver leading the race, giving them time to build enough of a gap to not have to worry too much about their rivals. But now F1 have confirmed that DRS will be used from lap two of the race - a lap earlier than previously. This was especially true in 2023, when Max Verstappen's clear dominance over the rest of the field often saw him away and over the hills before the driver in second place even had a chance to operate the rear-wing device.

Now, in an attempt to improve racing at the start of races and allow for more overtaking opportunities, the F1 commission have agreed to make these changes ahead of the 2024 season. This new rule will also be in operation when races are restarted after a safety car period, offering more opportunities for a tighter race once the safety car has peeled away into the pits. While there may be some trepidation about this new rule causing more so-called 'DRS trains' at the start of races making the system less effective, it is more likely to make the battle at the front a more exciting one. In addition to the DRS changes, the commission have also agreed to new sprint race changes, and have allowed drivers to use four power units before incurring a penalty in both the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
 

Aston Martin Seeking Fourth CEO in Four Years​

Aston Martin is reportedly reaching out to candidates to replace Amedeo Felisa as the company’s chief executive officer, potentially setting the business up to have its fourth CEO in four years. Felisa has headed the UK-based automaker since May of 2022 and inherited a situation where the business was already taking on sizable amounts of debt annually. The company’s share price has also been trending downward since 2018, though it has remained mostly flat since October of 2022. Management reported £1.1 billion in revenue in 2018. But it had dropped to just £612 million by the end of 2020. In December 2022, that figure had come back up to £1.4 — making it seem as though the hard times were the result of economic issues created via the global response to COVID-19. However, Aston Martin failed to turn this into profitability and was staking sustained losses, which included taking on £495 million in debt for 2022.

The company attributed the loss to global supply chain troubles and the fact that it had been spending big on new models, including some all-electric vehicles. By November of 2023, Aston Martin reported an adjusted operating loss of £48.4 million for its Q3 results and a net revenue of £362 million. While the company signaled this as a turnaround for the brand, it still ended the quarter rolling back sales estimates and confirmed negative cash flow of £78.5 million. Some of the newer models weren’t selling at target volumes and the company suggested an equity raise could take place early in 2024. From the looks of things, Aston has managed to solve some problems while others manifest and has ultimately had to temper shareholder expectations. The current hope seems to be that the brand’s newer products will see improved sales as production ramps up. But the fact that it’s hunting for a new CEO would seem to indicate the plan isn’t universally appreciated. That said, Felisa is now 77 and may be seeking retirement. However, even if that’s not the case, it’s likely that’ll be the excuse given when the management change takes place.

Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll has already “cycled through” CEOs, according to reporting from Bloomberg:
Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll has contacted current and former heads of other luxury auto manufacturers to gauge interest in the role, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the conversations were private. An Aston Martin spokesperson declined to comment. The company’s shares dropped as much as 4 [percent] as of 12:25 p.m. Tuesday in London. The stock has slumped 54 [percent] since the end of July. Stroll, 64, tapped Felisa to be CEO in May 2022, replacing former Mercedes-AMG boss Tobias Moers, who spent less than two years in the job. His predecessor, Andy Palmer, left months after Stroll rescued Aston Martin in early 2020. Aston Martin’s search is no surprise given that Felisa — who initially retired from Ferrari NV in 2016 — was “always a temporary solution,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Michael Dean said in a report.

While its share price took a dive in 2018, Stroll reeled in new investors and even brought the Aston Martin name back to Formula One (as a distinct entity) after a 61-year absence. However, some of the new shareholders that have emerged since 2022 have been somewhat controversial. Entities like Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group have deep pockets. But critics have wondered how wise it is to join with them when global tensions appear to be growing. Some have even faulted Stroll with mismanagement, often citing Aston Martin’s rotating list of CEOs as evidence. However, Stroll didn’t take leadership until after the company’s financial issues reached a breaking point in 2020. It hardly seems fair to place full ownership of the corporate woes upon his shoulders.

His father, Leo Strulovitch, imported European luxury brands (e.g. Pierre Cardin and Ralph Lauren) into Canada before Lawrence took over the business. He then worked with Asian investors to expand Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors worldwide. Nepotism aside, Stroll’s background in luxury goods seemed like a good fit for Aston Martin. Sadly, it doesn’t appear to have been enough to solve the automaker’s many problems. For 2024, Aston Martin has already tempered delivery estimates on the DB12 and has more recently been hinting that could be the case for its entire lineup, even if it doesn't blame suppliers this time around. “The DB12 production ramp up was temporarily affected as supplier readiness and integration of the new EE platform that supports the fully redeveloped infotainment system was delayed,” Aston Martin said in its earnings report from November.

The company has declined to comment on any prospective management shakeup. But it’s also going to have to release another financial report soon that will outline the entirety of 2023. Depending on how that goes, the business may be forced into explaining the matter while it outlines what it’s going to do about its finances moving forward.
 

FIA’s top F1 legal players leave organisation​

Governance and regulatory director Pierre Ketterer and head of commercial legal affairs Edward Floydd, both of whom had a hand in Concorde Agreement negotiations on behalf of the FIA, are departing. Ketterer, who will take up a new role at the International Olympic Committee in April, joined the FIA in 2010. He has long been regarded as one of the key legal players in the organisation, representing it in disciplinary cases both in F1 and across the broader spectrum of the sport as well as in external matters, and he was heavily also involved in compliance issues.

Under former president Jean Todt he led the FIA’s side negotiations for the current Concorde Agreement that runs until 2026, created the FIA judicial and disciplinary rules in 2011, and was a key player in developing the COVID-19 code of conduct that allowed F1 to resume in 2020. The 45-year-old’s departure was formally confirmed to teams at Monday’s meeting of the F1 Commission in London. “I will miss Pierre personally and professionally,” FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem told Motorsport.com. “I have known him for 14 years – long before I became FIA president. I have always found him to be meticulous in his commitment to serving the Federation and our members. He was a prominent, well-respected figure in our organisation. I would like to thank him for his invaluable contribution and unwavering professionalism. I am confident that with the team Pierre has put in place, the FIA’s governance and regulatory affairs are in good hands. He has decided to take his career in a new direction after years of loyal service, and I wish him well in his new role.”

“I’m passionate about sports and joining the IOC is a kind of dream,” Ketterer told reporters. “I spent 14 years at the FIA and I wanted to seek new challenges in another sports organisation, I really wanted to stay in sport. It’s a bittersweet moment for me as I’m very sad leaving motor sport and leaving colleagues and friends. I have a very important relationship with the President, I know it's hard to gain his trust, and we’ve had a great time for the last two years.”

Floydd was the primary civil and commercial legal adviser to the FIA and was the lead legal negotiator and adviser for championship promoter agreements, and as such also involved in Concorde discussions. Ketterer and Floydd join a growing number of people who have left the FIA in recent months for unrelated reasons, a list that notably includes former F1 sporting director Steve Nielsen and technical director Tim Goss. Goss was recently named by the RB team as its future chief technical officer, where he will join another recent FIA departee in former Formula E technical manager Alessandra Ciliberti, who has become the design process manager at the Faenza team.

Deborah Mayer, who was president of the Women in Motorsport Commission, opted not to renew her contract at the end of last year. Several other less high-profile F1 staff members have also left, but the FIA has also been hiring as it undergoes a restructuring exercise under Ben Sulayem. As part of that process, it has created a new job title of chief legal officer and recently appointed Paul O’Dowd, who was previously group general counsel at McLaren Applied, the company that makes use of the sister team’s F1 technology in other fields. “The FIA has been undergoing a large-scale transformation over the past 12 months,” a spokesperson said. “We have created 10 new departments restructuring the Federation to be more fit for purpose for the future. While there are individuals departing for other opportunities we have also welcomed new additions such as three new hires to the management team over the last few months, namely chief legal officer, chief commercial officer and senior director for sustainability and EDI [equality, diversity and inclusion.] We have also added numerous staff to key roles across sport and mobility.”

If it carries on like this it'll be my turn soon. They do seem to have a high rate of churn.
 
Allowing DRS one lap earlier is hardly "a massive shake up for the sport".

Horner and Jos Verstappen relationship 'badly damaged' BEFORE Red Bull allegations​

Christian Horner's personal relationship with Max Verstappen's father Jos Verstappen has reportedly taken a hit. Allegations of 'inappropriate behaviour' have recently been levelled at Red Bull team principal Horner, who 'completely denies' the claims that were first reported by Dutch outlet De Telegraaf. The Brit has been in charge of the Milton Keynes-based outfit since their inception into Formula 1 back in 2005 and has won seven drivers' championships and six constructors' titles with the team in that time.

In 2023, Horner himself suggested that the team's dominant RB19 car was the 'most successful car in F1 history', as star driver Max Verstappen broke multiple records on his way to a third consecutive title. Verstappen shares a close relationship with his father Jos, who also raced in F1 for eight seasons between 1994-2003, claiming two podiums. Now, it's being reported that Horner's relationship with the Verstappen family was 'badly damaged', even before these allegations against the 50-year-old were made public.

Dutch publication Motorsport Total.com have said that three-time world champion Verstappen is very loyal to his close circle of friends and family, and that Horner may no longer be a part of that. They have inferred that the Brit has not seen eye-to-eye with Verstappen senior for some time, and even alleged that it is 'probably no coincidence' that the 'inappropriate behaviour' allegations were first reported by Dutch media.

[Are they hinting that someone in the Verstappen camp leaked this story to the Dutch press ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ]

Newey to Ferrari rumours heat up amidst ‘broken’ friendship with Horner​

Following the revelation that Christian Horner has been placed under investigation by Red Bull after allegations of “inappropriate behaviour,” the rumour mill has gone into overdrive. We are expecting the results of the investigation on Friday. But has the damage already been done at Red Bull?

Adrian Newey, Chief Technical Officer at Red Bull, is one of the most highly regarded members of the Formula One paddock. Earlier last year, he signed a contract extension with the Milton Keynes-based team. However, months later, he expressed his regret at not working with a certain team and two drivers. Newey was asked on the Beyond The Grid podcast whether he regretted not working with Ferrari in his long and successful career. He responded: “Emotionally, I guess, to a point. Yes. But just as, for instance, working with Fernando [Alonso] and Lewis [Hamilton] would have been fabulous. But it never happened. It’s just circumstance sometimes. That’s the way it is.”

As the Red Bull team attempts to steady the ship following the Horner allegations, could Newey consider changing teams? Especially considering Hamilton’s recent move to Ferrari, which will occur in 2025. Newey’s wife, Amanda Newey, has added further fuel to this speculation. She liked a post on X relating to Newey’s podcast appearance, which said: “Now’s your chance to tick off those regrets, Adrian.” A move to Ferrari would only leave him with one regret, having yet to work with Alonso. Additionally, F1-Insider.com has reported that “the bond of friendship has now broken” between Horner and Newey. Could this be further motivation for him to leave?

Helmut Marko speaks out following Horner allegations
One notable Red Bull employee we are yet to hear from regarding the ongoing investigation is Red Bull Advisor Helmut Marko. The long-standing paddock member is well known for his blunt commentary, especially regarding members of his own team. Last year, Marko and Horner were subjected to claims of a power struggle within the team. So far, Marko has refused to comment on the investigation. Until now. Journalist Christian Nimmervoll asked Marko for his comment on the Horner allegations. While he refused to directly comment on the investigation, he did say: “Horner has done a great job over the years.”

While his comment seems one of support for Horner, could the addition of the word “has” prove telling with news expected tomorrow?
 

Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari contract contains a 'secret Mercedes clause'​

Lewis Hamilton's contract with Ferrari from 2025 contains a secret clause inserted by his current team Mercedes, according to a new report. Hamilton will join Ferrari on a multi-year contract from the beginning of the 2025 season, where he will team with Charles Leclerc. The exact length of contract is yet to be officially confirmed, though reports claim it is a two-year deal with an option of an additional year in 2027. Hamilton will have spent the last 11 years as a Mercedes driver by the end of the 2024 season, his final season for the team and his association with the German company dates back 25 years, when they held a stake in the McLaren team and supplied engines. The 39-year-old's decision to move to Ferrari, therefore, surprised many in the F1 community before it was announced last Thursday.

Following the news, attention quickly turned towards whether any other Mercedes team members could follow Hamilton to Maranello including his long-serving race engineer Peter Bonnington. When asked last week about the possibility of 'Bono' leaving, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff replied: "I think this is a discussion which everyone needs to have in the months to come. And as much I've spoken with Bono already, when I told him [about Hamilton's move], he said, 'Is it April the 1st?' That's something which we will discuss in the future."

But according to reports Ferrari may encounter a stumbling block in any attempt to bring key Mercedes staff members to the Italian team. The reports that there is a 'no-poaching' clause in Hamilton's Ferrari contract, which means that the seven-time world champion cannot approach any members of the Mercedes team while they are still under contract. Reporters have confirmed that they have been informed by Mercedes that the presence of the clause is 'accurate'. That would not stop Ferrari from signing any Mercedes personnel, though, as they would still have the option to negotiate their own departures with the Silver Arrows Temselves, or simply wait for the expiry of their contracts if applicable. As a result, therefore, we could see still team members making the switch in time for the 2025 season.
 

British Grand Prix to remain on F1 calendar until 2034​

Formula 1 confirmed Thursday that the British Grand Prix would remain on the calendar until 2034. "I am delighted to announce that the British Grand Prix will remain on the calendar for 10 more years with this agreement," President and CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, said in a statement. "Silverstone is an iconic venue at the heart of F1 history and as it approaches its ninth decade hosting Grands Prix, the event continues to attract fans from around the world for fantastic racing on track and the amazing fan experience off it" he added.

The new three-year deal between Formula 1, Silverstone, and its owner, the British Racing Drivers’ Club, will see the Northamptonshire circuit race into its ninth decade, having hosted the first-ever Formula Grand Prix in 1950.

The 2024 edition of the British Grand Prix will take place July 5 - 7.
 
This is all very interesting of course but the big question on everyone’s lips is…

They should do it in Reading. Boot it round the IDR, up to a big hairpin at cemetery junction, down to Southampton street then get on the gas to fly past the broad street mall. Figure of 8 course, like Suzuka. :cool:
