Mohammed Ben Sulayem: FIA president under investigation for alleged attempt to interfere over F1 race
The president of motorsport's governing body is under investigation for an alleged attempt to interfere over a Formula 1 race result.
You're viewing a single thread.
So, the head of the FIA has a scandal. Alpine lost their technical staff. Red Bull is close to losing their WDC, their chief designer and their deal with Ford.
And there has only been one race....
Wait, redbull may lose a wdc? For what exactly? Also, why would they lose their chief designer? Is Adrian Newey leaving? I feel like I am missing something
Max Verstappen can leave if Marko isn't at Red Bull anymore, because of the contract daddy Verstappen worked out with the old Red Bull leadership. The current Thai owners of Red Bull want to use the whole Horner thing to restructure the team and get rid of all of the old Red Bull people. This is pushed by Wolff because they want Verstappen to replace Hamilton. Ford doesn't want anything to do with the whole Horner thing because of appearance. Newey has said he doesn't want any drama in the team and said he will leave unless they fix their shit.
So yeah, it's one of those weeks I guess.
This is pushed by Wolff because they want Verstappen to replace Hamilton.
How can Toto "push" any of this?
OK, a lot of clarity there, thanks.
By wdc I thought you meant the drivers championship and not Verstappen himself. Makes way more sense. Also, I didn't know about Newey and Ford. Crazy week man
