Iām so lost on this Red Bull drama.
Red Bull is owned by Thailand billionaire Yoovidhya and Austrian billionaire Mateschitz. They both owned 49% of the company with Yoovidhya's son owning the remaining 2%. Despite Thais technically having the majority ownership Mateschitz was allowed to make sporting decisions until his death.
Old man Mateschitz died and power struggle began. Horner has the backing of Thais while Helmut Marko has the backing of Verstappens and Austrians. There were rumors Marko was gonna get fired before the start of last season but he survived, so my guess is that Marko is now trying to get rid of Horner.
Horner gave them an opening by allegedly fukking his traveling personal assistant. She complained, Horner offered her 600k, she refused and filed a complaint with RB. Then apparently Thai side of RB hired an independent lawyer who completed his investigation but then went of vacation
RB eventually dismissed the complaint and exonerated Horner without ever disclosing any details about the allegation or exoneration.After the exoneration someone leaked bunch of texts between Horner and the PA to all F1 journalists and FIA. But even with all that shyt out it seems like everyone was covering for Horner with Mohammed Ben Sulayem apparently telling Max to publicly support Horner. That pushed Jos over the edge and he basically came out and said fukk Horner, he's got to go or Max is leaving.
So the biggest and the only loser so far in the drama is the personal assistant. She didn't take the money, her name was leaked, and most likely her career in F1 ruined.

@nyknick Thanks for the rundown. I was so confused about the Jos/Max shyt. I knew about the texts getting leaked.
shyt is straight fukkery
What raised my antennas on the situation was all the headlines with pictures of Max in Mercedes gear. I was like what the hell is going on here.
Also fukk Horner.

Max always seemed cool with Horner but Marko is his main man since he brought him into F1 at 17 years old and always had his back.@nyknick Thanks for the rundown. I was so confused about the Jos/Max shyt. I knew about he texts getting leaked.

Now Jos on the other hand must hate Horner because Horner tried to have Max bush Jos years ago, because Jos was a bad influence.
Toto's in it just for the fukkery.
Lewis and the team gotta come to grips with this car. Still saying the rear is unstable. 
George, like a lot of the younger drivers, have no issue with that instability. He's looked comfortable from the jump.
Max long runs look crazy. Count this race as over unless the car blows up.

Antonelli ain't making waves like I heard he supposed to . I know he's still inexperienced, but the F1 world done talked the kid up so now I gotta be judgemental.

I don't understand why Mercedes decided to waste mediums on the first run just now.
