About time. How he managed to keep his job after that scandal was fantastic

Wow they actually did it. This team is a total mess.

I'm pretty happy to see the Red Bull downfall.

Happy to see companies that treat employees so badly suffer, a lot of the good people have left, and more will follow.

Wow, so is this good or bad for Red Bull's chances of keeping Max?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Either he was told he'd be sacked if they lost max, or max said "hornyboy or me"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I would guess the former then because I really don't think Max gives a shit about Horner. It's Jos that hates him, and I don't think he sees eye-to-eye with Marko either. But Max just cares about the car.

Max's team protected Marko when the rumours from Horniers faction started flying that he'd be gone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

I meant Marko doesn't see eye-to-eye with Horner. As far as I know Max loves Marko.

TBH I’ll only miss Ginger Spice

EDIT: Damn, Wikipedia got hands (from Gerri Haliwell’s article):

Someone needs to relink the WhatsApp thread with him harassing that poor intern to show what fresh cunt he is. Very surprised he wasn't sacked on the spot at the time.
