With Newey facing health issue, and Aston Martin making loses, its all possible that Horner may be hoping to acquire a stack in the team. Last moment fall out could be due to disagreement in company valuation.

Loses? Horner isn't a engineer. He's a manager.

He meant "losses" and "stake". It's possible Horner backed away since he felt that he wasn't offered a large enough amount of equity in the team. (Or any at all.) If Stroll is now coming back to the table that may have changed.

What's this about Horner? I thought Wheatley was on the way? Horner is very good, but so is Wheatley, and he does so with a far better approach.

I think Wheatley has gardening leave most likely well into 2027, but Horner could probably work for Aston tomorrow, if they agreed a deal, since his is up already.

The Horner source came from The Daily Mail. That tells you everything about its credibility.

In his interview on F1technical, Newey said that Mike Krack is excellent at representing the team. Which I read as, him saying that he's not in any rush to find a replacement. He also noted—I'm paraphrasing—that while the FIA requires every team to have someone designated as "team principal," the role itself isn't formally defined. Regardless of how you interpret the title, the buck stops with me. So AMR F1 are looking for a face that wouldn't have any power. So why in the world would you go spend all that money on Horner just to tie his hands and why would Horner accept such a job?

Wheatley has worked with Newey for more than 2 decades. It sounds to me as they know each other well and know what each otherare looking for.

In any case, the wheel hub is on the opposite side of the ICE. It's located almost directly behind the driver's head, only a couple of centimeters farther rearward.

I think he's referring to the part that the brakes and wheels are attached to. The ones in front are called steering knuckles, not sure what the rear ones are called as I've heard it referred to as the knuckle, spindle, or hub carrier.

yes thats correct. i was talking about the opposite end of that top wishbone that everyone was saying was a radical design during preseason. one end connects to the rear crash structure, the other connects by the wheel hub assembly. just thought that regardless of whether the inboard mount was at the crash structure or the gearbox casing, theyre both solid compaired with the rear wheel mounting side. if that makes sense.. regardless, the current mounting has been done before in prior newey cars, with no vibration issues that we know of. and sure, "vibrations are complicated". but people seeing that "radical" suspension arm, and deciding that its the cause of their vibration issues, is pretty amateur to begin with, with no evidence to speak of. i know its just speculation. speculate is all we can do without anybody from the team giving up information.
