Formula 1 - 2025

Horner always tended to favor the lead driver, Seb, Jensen, Max, etc. Now, you can't have two quarterbacks and someone always has to be second string.

Well, MacLaren is dealing with two drivers that could win the Driver's Championship and it looks like they'll lock up the Constructor's again. Makes for some tough pit wall decisions, but works overall for the team.

That's always has been the case so what changed now? Max is still the lead favored driver, especially after Daniel left in 2018/19. Looking forward to the full story when it comes out. If he is fired he might be able to go work for another team considering so far nothing has been mentioned about gardening leave. Could we see him at Alpine at the Belgium race or even Cadillac in 2026?

  1. RedBull are gearing up to sell the main Red Bull Racing and only run one team Visa CashApp RB going forward and removal of Horner makes it easy to sell especially if the buyer have someone with TP experience already in the group (Otmar Szafnauer). If I remember reports from previous years I believe Horner had attempted to purchase RBR with investment group.
  2. Horner did something similar to last year or there is new evidence related to last year.
  3. The 2026 engine is behind the curve, over promised under deliver situation.
  4. If various articles are accurate Max was looking outside RBR and this could be one way to say stay with RBR and we will get rid of Horner.
  5. Before passing of Dietrich Mateschitz Horner had free hand on how RBR was run with none of the corporate oversight but after DM's passing RBR had corporate oversight for the first time leading to power struggle with HQ in Austria.
I think it's combination of 3 and 5 which might have lead to his firing.

I wonder if he now puts together a investment group to buy Alpine or 12th team (if approved) and take over the TP role similar to Toto.

I think he just didn't get with enough of her friends.

Yeah, that was a lousy decision by McLaren. I wonder how they are going to handle situation going forward when it's the other way around.

I also, found the race to be very boring after first 6 to 8 laps.
