Christian Horner under Investigation

[Alex_Z]

Agreed. It’s malicious intent into character assassination. If he’s guilty then clearly he’s got issues that need addressing but this needed to stay a private matter. Thoughts are with Geri Horner and the kids. Must be tough for them all either at school or for her personally.

I don’t understand the second release here, like you’ve made your point. Why continue now?

It’s pure evil.

Good question. It almost seems like a public extortion attempt akin to kidnapping

I guess if someone really wanted him out , probably even moreso I would say it it were true and Horner had not walked away yet

It has to be internal within F1, otherwise how do you get that much information to contact everyone within the F1 world.

Level of doxxing requires proper preparation and serious hacking knowledge and experience. That’s the golden egg here.

It’s someone pretty experienced that knows what they are doing whether the leaks are real/fake no doubt but AI tops make the generation of images far easier I’d suspect there could be people techie enough to find email accts within certain organisations

First and foremost this level of doxxing would require an idiot millionaire CEO 50 year old guy with gorgeous wife and children to send d*** pics to an employee after a career of making enemies with brazen behavior.

You can’t leave out this part, Horner isn’t the victim if this is real.

100% this. If anything, I feel worse for the complainant because I doubt this was in their plans.

he left his previous wife when she was pregnant and he was cheating on her with the current one

What’s really baffling to me is no damage control from F1, FIA, RedBull.

Well, since I have the drive and seen it, got to see Horner’s chest and file 76, I would say this is the craziest start of the season I have ever had for over 20 years of fandom.

Apparently more leaks confirmed at 18:00 pm local time. This is someone destroying this man forever, whether it’s true or false, and it’s sad to see.

I’m sorry but he deserves no sympathy, to be sending stuff like that to a junior employee when you are the boss is an incredible abuse of power and position. If you’re not able to keep it clean you shouldn’t have a position or responsibility. The power dynamic is so out of whack between the two parties, he should’ve been dismissed instantly, as any exec should be from any corporate for this kind of behaviour. The man’s clearly a snake

Agree if the leaks are real I don’t see him as the victim - least not the main one and I have very little sympathy for him if he’s true

Same here! However, we don’t know. Sadly others close to him have been severely affected by this.

Based on WHAT? How do you know everything is true what is on that Google Drive?
No one from the reliable F1 sites will publish it because they don't know if it is false or true.
But you know everything is true?!

[SoulPancake13]

I mean, let's be honest with ourselves, the man cheated on his pregnant wife with his current wife anyways. It's not like the man is some paragon. We will wait and see to the veracity of the Drive leak, but let's not treat Horner as a saint either.

Die Autos drehen Ihre Runden, doch das Fahrerlager spricht nur über den Fall Horner. Angeblich soll um 18 Uhr Ortszeit neues Material an die Öffentlichkeit gebracht werden. Die Königsmörder geben nicht auf. Aber Horner ist immer noch da.

The cars do their laps, but the paddock only talks about the Horner case. New material is said to be released to the public at 6 p.m. local time. The regicides don't give up. But Horner is still there.

That's because they will be trying to authenticate the leaks, might have been warned they might face legal action if they publish and so on. UK based media will also not want to risk a libel and defamation case if the leak has been faked.

If they are real then it makes sense to drop the media files first to cause chaos and outrage, then follow it up with the much drier report that sets everything out in black and white. It could well be fake. But we'll find out soon enough one way or the other. The UK Press don't print anything of this nature without it going through lawyers first. Libel cases are expensive if you lose as you have to pay for your own legal fees, the legal fees of the person suing you for libel then whatever amount of compensation the Judge decides on top of those costs. It bankrupts people who don't have deep pockets.

Oh the human race.....
As long as he did not commit a crime why should anyone be interested into his private sexual life? I bet there will be a lot of other men and women in the whole F1 circus doing the very same....

It should be quite easy to see why having sexual relationships with subordinates is a bad idea for multiple reasons, none more important than the power dynamic between the two. He basically holds her career in his hands. It gets a lot harder to say no to doing things when that is the case.

And just because it happens elsewhere in the paddock doesn't mean we should let this go. Ideally, all of it is stopped.

[mafeotul]

It still doesn’t change the fact that this man, good or bad has been publicly humiliated an a global scale now. Unless he committed some heinous crime, it’s a terrible thing to see. I just don’t understand from a PR perspective how he is still in position.
