Okay, so, today I want to talk about this whole Christian Horner thing that’s been blowing up. You know, the Red Bull F1 team boss? Yeah, that guy. It’s been a wild ride following this story, so I figured I’d just lay out how I’ve been keeping up with it all and what I’ve gathered.
First off, I started by just checking out the usual news sites, like The Daily Mirror. They had some juicy stuff about Horner saying he had “tremendous support” from his wife, Geri Halliwell, despite all the drama. I mean, can you imagine being in the middle of something like that? Crazy.
Then, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole, digging deeper into the whole situation. There’s this 24/7 sports news site that I found, and they had all the gossip, like how Horner doesn’t doubt Max Verstappen’s loyalty to Red Bull, even though Toto Wolff from Mercedes is apparently drooling over him. Classic F1 drama, right?
Here’s where it got really interesting.
- I stumbled upon this article where Horner apparently showed up to the media with printed telemetry sheets to argue against Verstappen’s penalties. Like, who does that? Talk about going the extra mile!
- After that, I found out that the appeal against the decision to dismiss the complaint about Horner was also rejected. So, things aren’t looking great for him on that front.
- And the media storm? Don’t even get me started. It’s been non-stop. Even Verstappen himself said that the workplace needs to be “quiet and harmonious.” Sounds like a bit of an understatement to me!
I also found out that Horner was under investigation for some “inappropriate behavior.” Not cool, man, not cool. This is what is being said, anyway.
Getting Personal
But here’s a twist: Horner got a CBE title from King Charles III. So, he’s kind of a big deal. It’s just one step below being a knight, with the “Sir” or “Dame” title. Pretty fancy, huh? But then, there’s this whole thing about Toto Wolff calling him a “yapping little terrier.” Ouch! That’s gotta sting.
And to top it all off, I read that Horner’s salary is insane. Like, �8.92 million in 2023! That’s an 11% increase from the previous year. I mean, who needs that much money? I certainly don’t. Just wild.
So yeah, that’s basically my journey through the Christian Horner news saga. It’s been a mix of shock, amusement, and a bit of disbelief, to be honest. I just wanted to share my experience of diving into this whole thing. It’s been quite the ride, and I’m still trying to piece it all together.
