I think it might be it's his PA.

You break each page with your images I was hoping to get to the next page but you have done it again, making it hard to navigate on mobile lol.

Load imagine into paint software and resize.

Very sorry about the size.

Fiona Hewitson is indeed Christian Horner's personal assistant and alleged accuser.

Just signed up to Formula 1 TV Pro via Google Play Store with VPN so I'm hoping it'll let me watch the races live with cockpit camera choice for £6.99 a month. Hopefully this will work as it's alot cheaper than Sky although it took a while to find a VPN that would work.

Edit
Not yet convinced this will work as It still wants me to subscribe if I log in on their website but it maybe that the app is treated independently and the £6.99 monthly cost is far more than the basic UK TV Access price of £2.29 a month which doesn't give live races so I maybe good.

Carlos Sainz has been diagnosed with appendicitis and will require surgery so will take no further part in F1 this weekend.

FP3, Qualifying and the Race will be taken by Ferrari's British reserve driver Oliver Bearman therefore taking no further part in this week's Formula 2 Championship which he had taken Pole Position with for the main event.

Formula 1 TV Pro worked perfectly so total cost is NordVPN at £3.33 and F1 TV £6.99 = £10.32 a month and I'm well chuffed considering what Sky would charge me.

Confirmed.

Adrian Newey to leave Red Bull in early 2025, no mention of how long his gardening leave will be( if any) but Ferrari are hot favourites for his next adventure.

Red Bull have confirmed their design chief Adrian Newey will leave the team in early 2025.

Newey, regarded as the greatest designer in the history of Formula 1, told Red Bull last week he wanted to leave in the wake of the controversy involving allegations about team principal Christian Horner.

The 65-year-old’s next team has not been decided but Ferrari are hot favourites to sign him.

Red Bull’s statement said Newey would “continue to attend specific races to support the team trackside to the end of the 2024 season”, with the first of these the Miami Grand Prix this weekend.

Newey said he would spend the rest of his remaining time with Red Bull focusing on completing the forthcoming RB17 super-car.

He also revealed his departure had been handled by former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan, who Newey described as his “close friend and manager”.

Jordan and Newey have succeeded in pulling off a major coup in extricating the designer from a contract that ran to the end of 2025 and included a 12-month “non-compete” clause that should have meant he was not available to any other team until 2027 at the earliest.

The non-compete clause is very likely to be overturned as it breached his earnings rights

I think he's basically on gardening leave now from F1 and will concentrate on the RB17, so in a years time he can work for another team.
