Sky reporting today's interview with the lawyer was basically an interrogation lasting over 8 hours. No decisions made yet.

In my book, that's not an interview, that's a coercive interrogation leading the subject towards pleading guilty...

8 hours is a long time to interview, wonder what they had to go over in that time.

Seen a post from a random person that says
"More from Austria on #ChristianHorner. The inappropriate behaviour is said to have been at the ski world cup event at Kitzbuehel. There's a dossier of incriminating material at RB HQ. Horner had plotted to set up a holding company for all RB motorsport with himself in charge"

Was Horner even at Kitzbuehel?
Can't see anything to collaborate it, but in the off chance it isn't BS I'll post.
8 Hours reminds me of the republicans hunting Hunter Biden. Curious what will come out. If he’s innocent then I still want to know what instigated this all.

Got my hands on the transcript from today's interrogation.

Interrogator: Horner, did you order the Code Red?!
Horner's lawyer: You don't have to answer that question!
Horner: I'll answer the question. You want answers?
Interrogator: I think I'm entitled to them.
Horner: You want answers?!
Interrogator: I want the truth!
Horner: You can't handle the truth!

....

Interrogator: Did you order the Code Red?
Horner: I did the job --
Interrogator: -- Did you order the Code Red?!

Horner: YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!!!

This suggestion that CH sent a nude picture or whatever is nonsense.

From what I understand, the alleged situation is the opposite. He is accused of having sent something of someone else, potentially as "leverage".

I think the situation is closer to, here's the evidence, how can we prove this isn't what it looks like.

Horner verdict not due until next week apparently

https://www.espn.in/f1/story/_/id/39490 ... -next-week
"Horner, accused by an F1 team employee of controlling behaviour and text messages"

Oh wow, so THIS is the huge scandal? I doubt this will go anywhere, and that he will be fired from the team.

With him sending his own dick pick he is embarrassing himself and disgusting someone else who receives it and making them unsafe.

But by sending something of someone else for leverage, not only is it blackmail on-top of making them trapped and threatened, but blackmail works by disclosure so he’s threaten to release something that would be life damaging to someone.

Going by the above statement posted by the other user, which might be untrue.

There is no grudge or friction in Jos camp against Christian. The Dutch Journalist did intentionally mentioned Oliver.

When was the last time a leak was identified publicly? Oliver is done.

Now that pretty much every regular user of this site has expressed their point of imagination on this "rumour", should this topic still be open for "rumouring"? Shouldn't this be locked until there is some official information about it?

The longer this runs, the worst form of cesspool would this become I am afraid.

I suggest you stop believing everything these hacks write in the media.

There were no WMD in Iraq despite every lying MSM outfit telling you there was.

I doubt the truth of the situation is as lurid as what the media is making up, it makes no sense to condemn a man on rumour especially in the age of clickbait.

Suggestions from solid sources (sky sports, the guardian) that this investigation is likely not to conclude soon. It's very likely that it will be ongoing when the car is launched on the 15th and could even still be the case for the tests/Bahrain

This is bad imo and maybe there is a fire under this smoke. I really hope not because he is the correct guy for RB but the delaying maybe it's showing that they need time to find some replacement? Binoto? I cannot think anyone in his place really.

An 8 hour interrogation would suggest that there's a fairly serious issue. It could also be something innocuous, but is being spun out of context and is now being used against him. I can imagine a guy like Christian sending a text or message with a bit of profanity without any sinister intent, but is now taken out of context and literally implied.
