The timeline of this whole ordeal might give us insight.
1 Februari: Lewis announces he's moving to Ferrari next year.
5 February: Red Bull Racing’s parent company GmbH confirms Horner is under investigation following an accusation of “inappropriate behaviour”.
Why now?
Toto Wolf is vocal about the scrutiny of Horner. It must be open.
Why?
Horner stays at RB.
Jos has meetings with Toto.
Jos lashes out and attacks Horner.
In desperation?
Whats the motive?
Marko admits Verstappen contract i tied to him being in RB. Are other persons tied to Verstappens contract? Other key personal like Horner.
Verstappen is signed until 2028. 4 more full years. His market value had probably increased 5 fold compared to his RB contract. He might be tempted to cash is or show that he can win in another car.
Is all this tied together one way or another?
What do you all think?
