Can Horner be present tomorrow or not?
Tomorrow is the day! Then all ten Formula 1 cars for the year 2024 will be known. Today it was Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren's turn. You can say that these are the challengers for the title. Of course, Red Bull is the team that is being challenged.
The lead there was so big last year that they have had a completely different battle in recent months. For example, since the death of Dietrich Mateschitz, there has been a conflict at Red Bull, the parent company. There is also an internal battle going on at Red Bull Racing.
Horner is simply present!
The Marko-Horner-Newey trinity is said to be showing cracks. Since the 1990s, Newey has felt that he does not get enough credit, Marko makes particularly crazy statements and Horner is currently under fire for inappropriate behavior. In short, it's not going well at all. The latter in particular is quite a bomb for the organization, because the season will soon start. Because you cannot possibly send Horner to such a party while the PR ship is heading straight for a cross-border iceberg. However?
Well, they don't care about that at Red Bull at all! Because tomorrow, February 15, the RB20 will be unveiled. And is Horner there? YES! Red Bull confirms this. Horner was also present at the new car of the week shakedown and will be there tomorrow. Yes, after all those cross-border messages, he can simply unveil the new car tomorrow.
From Nieuwkerkje
Exactly 9 days ago it turned out that Horner had done a Van Nieuwkerkje, said F1 insider. An investigation has been initiated by an external lawyer who is handling the case. To be fair, this person is doing an excellent job, because hardly anything has been leaked. According to the German sensation brothers Bild, Horner allegedly sent someone a photo (without providing further context). And at Motorsport Total they thought that the Verstappen camp was pushing Horner towards the abyss.
Then there was a cornucopia with messages full of opinions from people who just didn't make it in F1. Of course we are also aware of the fact that sensation sells, but the accusations were made on very loose sand. Ultimately, everything that has happened so far has not been enough to suspend Horner.
There is of course also a chance that there is nothing wrong, or that it is not serious enough to make major changes to Red Bull's management team.
In that respect, it is good that alleged inappropriate behavior can always be investigated. The disgust and horror may then take place when guilt is proven. Anyway, it will be fun again tomorrow. We are curious to know how many technical questions the news will have for tomorrow's unveiling.
