See what I did there 😉

So, Geri's in Bahrain holding hands with him. And all we can think is "WE KNOW WHAT'S BEEN ON THAT FINGER!!!"

I always thought she'd do the "Fighting bravely through the tears" schtick.

She looks like she's desperate to hang onto him

She will then pay with her mental health.

Noone is worth doing that for.

Max would be shooting himself in the foot by moving to a less good car though - why on earth would JV want that either? So I expect he is full of hot air about Max moving and just wants CH to. They had a blazing row yesterday (allegedly).

TheDowagerDoughnut · 03/03/2024 18:06

Jos Verstappen wasn't content with effing up his own non-entity career; he wants to eff up Max's too, I see.

If Max cannot see that and break free of his abusive father, drama like this is going to dog him forever.

(assuming he's not as bad as his Dad himself)

If she really is now dating Jos she has terrible taste in men.

Aviee · 03/03/2024 19:05

She's named all over the internet and I hope she doesn't lose her job now.

She is in for a rough ride. She's an attractive young woman having affairs with powerful men in big jobs. She will be chewed up and spat out. Misogyny and the patriarchy will ensure that. She doesn't have the protection of power, money or marriage.

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 03/03/2024 19:51

If I was Red Bull I would call Joss's bluff and say OK then leave. There is no way he is going to sacrifice Max driving the best car by a mile on the grid (you would hope!) to go to Mercedes or the like. Then you can deal with the Horner incidents as a separate thing. They shouldn't be connected and it's just Joss being a cunt as per usual and throwing his weight around.

No one also knows if the twinned contracts between Horner and Newey are true or not. If RB lose Newey they are fucked and they know it.

I can't find anything about this online, where have you heard this please?

It's a rumour doing the rounds. I am not convinced it's true. There has been people in F1 who say she collapsed in tears at a race weekend and admitted what had been happening at RB and that's how it came out, not that she was dating Joss.

HormonalHetty · 03/03/2024 20:18

@OhhhhhhhhBiscuits thank you! What a mess.

Totally agree! I think CH is a slimy arsehole but JV and Helmut Marko are both worse - toxic, awful individuals.

CH deserves to lose his job (IMO) but it shouldn't be at a power play or JV. What's his beef anyway? It's not like MV hasn't been hugely favoured by CH and VV successful.

But go on RB, call JV's bluff - no chance he's going to go to another team with a less dominant car, not if he wants to keep winning WDC. And in any other team, I can't see JV being allowed to even have a say, nor Max being given such completely preferential treatment at all times. It's all hot air and bluster.

How on earth could she stay there…? I mean the whole mortification of it all…I would not be able to deal with it. I’d have to get signed off and lay at home on the sofa eating dairy milk and watching Friends.

Wizzadorra70 · 03/03/2024 17:35

There's def a lot more to this whole story than meets the eye. If the rumours about a brief affair with the PA are true and she's now dating JV, it all makes a bit more sense. And if JV wants CH out of Red Bull, there's every chance this is where the leak came from. Sounds like the PA needs some guidance in relationships or the freedom programme to be honest - she's being very seriously used by these men by the sound of it all. It's her I'm feeling sorry for.

This is the plot twist no one was expecting! If it’s true (which tbf I’m sceptical about), then the only thing I can say is it has the makings of a future Hollywood blockbuster.

I’d say Netflix are already on the case…😂

I would love to see what Mac would do in another car. Might make the season far more interesting!

Go on Jos! Do it! Take Max to Mercedes or something!!! Please!!

AliceA2021 · 03/03/2024 22:57

All the men in this have come out as slimy and disgusting. The women, PA was used, Geri, was being treated as he treated his ex.

What a slimy sport F1 is. Yuck, dirty and sleazy.

RedBellEnd · 04/03/2024 06:14

I agree. Dp was watching Drive to Survive this weekend - Lawrence stroll left his wife for someone 37 years his junior, a Brazilian model, Jos Verstappen was prosecuted for threatening his ex wife. The drivers were joking with Lance Stroll when he broke his wrist whether he was back wanking. It's all boys and toys and I'm half surprised they weren't all patting Horner on the back and congratulating him.

It's hardly a sport where women are held in high regard it seems

allthenoise · 04/03/2024 06:34

@RedBellEnd I agree I did think it was quite odd that Netflix decided to keep in all the wank jokes. I suppose their target audience might be teenage boys?

JJathome · 04/03/2024 07:20

I was surprised by jos’s comments, it does seem like there is a huge drive to get Horner out. The only person who can do that definitively is max. If he threatens to leave they will all pick him over Horner.

I also don’t understand the comments in the Mail article, stating sources saying Geri has stated Christian has to cut contacts with this woman and she wants her fired. I mean Christian is never going to want to go near her ever again after this, and I’m sure it’s him that wants her fired. He’s hardly going to be texting her for pics now. He won’t want to be anywhere near her. And the thought of her as is Pa will give him night sweats.

BudsBeginingSpringinSight · 04/03/2024 07:26

@RedBellEnd that's why I thought ch face was more... Cheeky chappy naughty boy /but aren't I cool and living the dream.

He didn't seem embarrassed that we have all the seen his dreadful pics

puddlehopper · 04/03/2024 08:04

I read one report saying the PA is an 'ex Red Bull employee', so maybe she has already left or been fired with a pay off and, more than likely, a watertight NDA.

Inkanta · 04/03/2024 08:41

Missed that development yesterday. So Jos ( the dad of Max the redbull driver) is in a relationship with Horner's PA. That's partly why they want rid of Horner.

She didn't go to Bahrain though did she?

DiamondGazette · 04/03/2024 09:59

I wonder how much financial compensation the PA has received, assuming she is now unemployed? Would Christian Horner have paid her to keep quiet?

mellybelly1 · 04/03/2024 10:00

PLEASE someone post the link to the leaked texts. I know everyone is saying its all over reddit and tiktok etc but all I find are messages about cocoa pops and if they slept ok
