He is the COO and CTO, actually. This confused me too; not sure why it was reported everywhere that he'd be the Team Principal, his job titles are clearly stated in the announcement.

Well, Horner wanted to be the captain. He finally will:

I fear Max has lost his chance with Mercedes, it is reported that Kimi will be announced as George's team mate for 2025 in Monza
Audi has another seat still open. Max and Jos can put forward any condition and Audi would agree. Max would have all the freedom to do whatever he wants, like run his own strategy from his car and take that team to championships. I don't see a point of Max continuing with Red Bull while Jos and Max's fans continuing to be angry with Red Bull. Red Bull anyway is doomed with the departure of it's staff. Max to Audi is a good solution. Max to Mercedes is a pain as George is way too formidable and would make life difficult for Max. It's a nightmare for gis fans. See what's happening with Lewis and his fans.

If Max doesn't go to Mercedes he will quit F1. He doesn't want 3, 4, 5 more years in F1. He never goes to Audi, never.
But Lawrence cannot be challenged. Jos and Max have to bow down to the boss and if that is fine, they will get all the money they can ask. Just no clout. Not sure if Lawrence would like a swearing Max inside the cockpit.
If Toto really wants Max, he'll give George the boot. George's current contract runs until the end of 2025 if I remember correctly.Sergej wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024, 14:29I fear Max has lost his chance with Mercedes, it is reported that Kimi will be announced as George's team mate for 2025 in MonzaWouter wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024, 14:20MAX:

Max will NOT quit for another atleast 15 years. We have heard this hoax from Lewis so many times in the past. He didn't leave even after AD2021. 50+ Millions (may be it would reach $100 million by 2030) of money a year is too good for any sportsperson to just leave it on the table and walk away.JPower wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024, 15:18I don't believe any of this.Wouter wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024, 15:01.Dunlay wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024, 14:42

It is falling apart, which is a bit of a natural story. But I fail to see that Horner is the cause...Wheatley was due for the job.
George is... formidable?? He's little more than a journeyman driver, flattered by winning more than a past expiry date old great.Dunlay wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024, 14:42Audi has another seat still open.

Max would trounce him, what are you on about.
Wheatley's departure is significant, but his interest in a team principal position is something that was known 5 months ago. His departure is not a reaction to Perez and it is not something that comes as a surprise to Max or Red Bull. Wheatley will remain with the team until the end of 2024 and then serve a gardening leave. If the departure was on more acrimonious terms, he wouldn't stay until the end of 2024. Wheatley is just setting himself up for the long term, to have a more significant role in the history of Formula One and with a much better remuneration. It's not a sudden exit and is completely understandable. James Vowles left Mercedes to become TP at Williams due to similar ambitions. You cannot keep someone who wants to become team principal somewhere else.Sergej wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024, 14:29I fear Max has lost his chance with Mercedes, it is reported that Kimi will be announced as George's team mate for 2025 in MonzaWouter wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024, 14:20MAX:
